Quality Assurance & ISO 9001 Certified
We are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality service, and we have a comprehensive Quality Management System in place that is certified to ISO 9001 standards.
Tangible Value For Money
During the project’s concept and schematic design stages, we challenge and evaluate all aspects of the Hydraulic Services design to establish the most cost-effective solution.
We are regularly appointed by main building contractors and plumbing contractors at the Tender stage of a project to review designs developed by competing consultant teams.
More often than not, we can identify several areas that can be re-designed using a different system or modified to be more efficient, which results in real savings for the client.
Below is an example of how this approach has worked and actual, verified cost savings.
- Project – ELF Stage 2B for John Holland Group, Total Savings = $2.043M
- Fire system savings = $1,430,000
- Hot water deletion to basins savings = $75,000
- Rainwater harvesting re-calculations = $538,000
This is just one example of many in which the savings accrued are far more significant than the fee paid to Aqualogical to carry out the detailed design.

Evidence-Based Solutions
Each designer will have a different approach to providing an engineering solution to particular requirements set. Therefore, we apply our best endeavours to provide evidence that the proposed solution is the most appropriate for the situation. This evidence is gathered from the following sources:
We maintain contact with our clients and building occupiers to obtain feedback and real data on how the installation’s performance. This data can be used to inform the design decisions of future similar projects.
Industry Knowledge
We are active members of the Association of Hydraulic Services Consultants Australia (AHSCA) and contribute to the membership with staff sitting on the executive committee. The AHSCA is at the forefront of technological and legislative developments in the plumbing industry.
We regularly invite manufacturers into our office to provide updates on the latest products, equipment and technology available.
Continual Professional Development
Our designers must continually improve their knowledge and capability through academic study, research, in-house training, workshops, seminars, and technical symposiums.
We rely on satisfied clients that return to Aqualogical again and again for Hydraulic and Fire Services designs and advice.
For many clients, we are their preferred Hydraulic Services Consultant and their only Hydraulic Services Consultant.
This can only be achieved by carefully managing the amount of work we undertake at any one time.
We don’t chase all projects, we don’t submit proposals to open Tenders, and we don’t undertake projects that we can’t add real value.
Over 90% of proposals we submit come from direct invitations from clients who know our work and understand our approach.
We communicate regularly with our clients so we can understand what challenges they face and what projects are in the pipeline so we can prepare in advance to have a team in place to best respond to each project.

Exceptional Service
Communication - Effective communication is crucial.
Our team is trained to provide the clients with a status update so they are fully aware of progress with the project deliverables. Occasionally we have to communicate delivery issues or concerns; however, in these situations, we make every endeavour to report this as soon as possible and with our proposed plan of action to mitigate any risk to timely delivery.
When we receive phone calls, we respond asap, generally within the same day. (Daily time planning allocates a portion of each day to communication, including returning missed calls and emails).
Client relations – A conscious effort is dedicated to new & existing client relations.
Aqualogical track communication with clients and feedback received. We encourage client relationship development to facilitate a culture of repeat work with trusted partners rather than chasing each and every project.
Need An Estimate?
At Aqualogical, every client deserves to know exactly what they’re getting into before starting a project. That’s why we offer estimates to all potential clients, so you can clearly understand your project’s scope and cost before making any commitments.
