What You Need to Know About Class 2 Structural Engineering on the Central Coast

Updated: Dec 15, 2025


If you’re developing or working on a multi-residential building like apartments, townhouses, or mixed-use developments, you’ll need a structural engineer experienced in Class 2 buildings and Class 2 registered with the Design and Building Practitioners Act.


What is Class 2?


Under the National Construction Code (NCC), Class 2 refers to buildings where people live above or below each other—such as apartments.


Why Class 2 Projects Need Specialised Structural Engineering


  • Higher complexity compared to single homes.

  • Greater load demands and safety requirements.

  • Stricter compliance under Australian Standards and NCC.
