What we do
Core Services
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Structural design and certification for multi-storey buildings using DfMA on both modular (3D) and panelised (2D) construction. We optimise column spacing, framing configurations and load-paths for efficient offsite manufacture across every building sector. This includes hybrid construction to utilise both traditional and modern methods of construction (MMC).
DfMA ADVISORY
We enhance building configurations through DfMA integration, value engineering and connection design — from early feasibility through to construction documentation. Less assumptions. Less variations. Better value. In addition, we also offer DfMA Guardian services to hold design teams to decisions made at concept design phase.
Who We Are
We understand complexity.
We believe in simplicity.
Systemised Design Group are a specialist building design consultancy delivering expert advice on Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). We exist because our clients needed a team with deep, hands-on DfMA experience — not advisors who had read about it.
With over 25 years in the Australian building industry and 10 years developing modular and offsite projects across the UK, Europe, USA and South-East Asia, we bring international rigour to Australian projects — ensuring designs are compliant, efficient, and built to perform.
Our founder, Simon McCarthy, is a CPEng-registered structural engineer, a Board Director of PrefabAUS, and one of Australia's leading voices on industrialised construction.
Success In Prefab Starts Before Design.
"DfMA leads to less assumptions, less variations, less delays — better quality and better value."
