    I'm in Melbourne and wanted to check if the quote I have from the geotechnical/structural engineering are right for a brick garage and a small extension I'm adding to an existing brick veneer home.
    Site investigation report $785 (Soil test and report)
    Footing design $425
    Structural Computations $110
    GST $132 (Can't argue with this!)
    Total $1,452
    Please let me know what you think.

    Looks ok to me, I’m a geotechnical engineer, what company did you get the quote through?

    If you got it through a large Engineering company i would recommend getting a second opinion from a smaller company, I work for a large company and know that these 'little' jobs get marked up due to the hassle of it being small.

    Cant help you with the structural side of things, but it looks like 1 hour for a junior staff member which is ok.
