About the Business

Structural Engineering & Drafting Consultancy - Tropical Nth QLD

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a boutique structural engineering and drafting consultancy based in Cairns, with a strong reputation and efficient systems delivering outstanding margins.

With a turnover of approximately $600,000 and normalised profit around $330,000, this business offers a high return for a hands-on owner or bolt-on acquisition. The operation is streamlined, with the principal in house team supported by experienced offshore drafting and cloud-based workflows. Overheads are low, systems are well established, and the client base is diverse and repeat driven.

The firm services the Northern Queensland and NT markets, specialising in residential structural design, drafting, Form 15 certification, and inspections. Clients include builders, owner-builders, certifiers, landscapers, designers, and architects, with steady enquiry flow and 30-50 active projects at any one time.

This opportunity is ideal for:

· A qualified structural engineer relocating to North Queensland, seeking to acquire a business with immediate income, systems in place, and drafting support ready to go.

· A bolt-on acquisition for an existing consultancy in Cairns or elsewhere looking to expand into the residential market.

· A design-and-construct group looking to internalise engineering and drafting for margin gain and control.

Key Highlights:

· Lean operation with minimal overheads

· Offshore drafters + cloud-based job tracking

· Strong pipeline and high repeat business

· Residential sector focus = shorter project cycles

· Can operate from home-based or office setup

· Seller available for smooth transition

A proven, profitable consultancy with strong foundations, this is a standout opportunity in the Queensland engineering sector.
