A record of how our engineering practice has grown, project by project, since the first warehouse frame we certified in Western Australia.
Benedicte Sunda completed load-bearing analysis for a 12,000 m² distribution hall near Perth. The project set our internal standard for column spacing and deflection checks on portal frames.
We moved blueprint production in-house to control layer naming, dimensioning rules, and revision flow. Since then, every drawing set leaves the office with the same annotation logic.
As vertical logistics centres appeared along the eastern seaboard, we added dynamic load modelling for automated storage and retrieval systems. The first review covered a five-level facility in Sydney.
Our team documented connection details between precast concrete panels and structural steel. The standard now appears in tender packages for three recurring warehouse clients.
We delivered slab-on-grade analysis for a refrigerated distribution centre in Melbourne, accounting for heavy racking point loads and thermal movement joints across the floor plate.
Two senior engineers now independently check every load calculation before a drawing set is issued for construction. The panel has cut on-site structural queries by a measurable margin.
Benedictesunda is led by people who have spent years on warehouse sites, not just at drafting tables. Every structural decision we sign off on is backed by field experience with long-span steel, precast concrete, and the ground conditions that shape Australian logistics builds.
Benedicte directs the technical review process for every project that leaves our office. Her background is in load-bearing analysis for distribution centres over 40,000 square metres, where column spacing and foundation depth decide whether a warehouse can actually handle its racking loads.
Ron manages our CAD production standards and checks every drawing set before it reaches a client. He has worked on more than sixty warehouse projects across Western Australia, and he is the reason our blueprints carry dimensioning that contractors can follow without phone calls back to the office.
Camille coordinates soil reports with our structural models, making sure the foundation design matches what is actually under the slab. Her work closes the gap between borehole data and the concrete specifications that appear on our construction documents.
Our QA engineers visit active sites to verify that poured concrete, welded connections, and bolted splices match the approved drawings. They document deviations early, when corrections are still a matter of rework rather than a structural risk.
Benedictesunda was founded to close the gap between architectural intent and structural reality in large-scale logistics construction. Led by lead engineer Benedicte Sunda, the firm produces strict technical blueprints and load-bearing analysis for warehouses that must hold up under decades of heavy use. Every drawing we issue is checked against Australian standards, site conditions, and the specific operational loads a client plans to run. The result is a structure that behaves predictably from the first pour to the final racking installation.
Benedictesunda started with a single drafting table and a clear rule: every logistics warehouse gets a load path that can be defended on site. Since then we have moved from small industrial sheds to multi-bay distribution centres across Western Australia.
In 2016 we delivered the structural package for a 4,000 m² cold storage facility near Perth. That project set our standard for column spacing and foundation detailing under heavy racking loads.
After two years of coordinating with external drafters, we built our own layer system and dimension rules. Every drawing now follows the same grid logic, which cut revision cycles by roughly a third.
By 2019 we had a dedicated group for portal frames and truss layouts. This let us take on distribution centres with clear spans above 30 metres without outsourcing the core calculations.
We now work with the same geotechnical lab on every major slab. Their soil reports feed directly into our bearing pressure checks, so the foundation design matches the actual ground conditions.
In 2022 we moved to a structured issue system for blueprints. Each revision carries a clear status, and the site team always knows which drawing set is current for the concrete pour.
Our senior engineer now runs independent peer reviews for projects outside WA. The same checklist applies whether the frame is steel or precast concrete, keeping the liability chain clean.
