Drafting

Our drafting is predominantly outsourced to expert draftsmen, while we do have an expanding in house capacity enabling us to keep our overheads down whilst maintaining rapid delivery times. We are told by our clients that our plans are very easy to read.

Why use Gilcon

At Gilcon we have a “can do” attitude. Our solutions are always the best value for money. Our turnaround times for design and documentation are very fast, usually within one to two weeks. During construction, we will always be available to take enquiries and give the necessary advice when it is required.

A real point of difference with Gilcon is response times, we answer emails fast, return phone calls promptly and general turn around times for all work is very quick.

You get a much better service from Gilcon than you can get with the larger consultancies. Don’t be fooled by their claims of prestigious projects. Many are the equivalent of sweatshops with inexperienced engineers pumping out excessively overkilled designs and charging their clients top dollar.

With Gilcon, you get well thought out designs from engineers who have worked with builders and clients for years to come up with the best engineered solutions. If the builder has a different idea on how to carry out the construction, we are always happy to discuss and revise the plans.

Areas Serviced

We have offices in both Campbelltown (Leumeah) and the Sydney CBD which gives us a good ability to service all of Metropolitan Sydney plus The Southern Highlands, Goulburn, Wollongong and The Blue Mountains.

We can do plans for jobs that are outside of our area, however other engineers will need to be engaged for inspections if they are required, which should be achievable. Note that inspections by the engineer during the project are often not required, but this depends on the Principal Certifying Authority of the project, which can be council or a private certifier.
