Common Ground
Is Solid Ground

From feasibility to delivery, we bridge the gap by finding the Consensus.

Founding Director

Meet Jaymes Day

BSc MEng MIEAust IntPE CPEng NER RPE(Tas,Vic,QLD)

Our founding director, Jaymes, brings a scientific mindset to civil engineering. He relies on first principles thinking—breaking complex problems down to their core to find the best solution, rather than just accepting "the standard".

He has led a wide range of projects, from land subdivisions and road upgrades to intricate flood studies. While he knows the technical side and design software inside out, he places equal value on clear communication and effective team management.

With a background teaching at the University of Melbourne and conducting student outreach, Jaymes enjoys helping those understand the "why" behind the process. He works closely with authorities to bridge the gap and ensure the final result is a consensus that works for everyone.

"Embrace first principles thinking, question everything, and innovate over imitate, because there's always a better solution; finding it is what we do."

Contractor Services

Need to fill a seat? We step in seamlessly.

Engineering teams often face resource fluctuations. Whether it is maternity leave cover, short-term role filling during recruitment drives, or needing specific technical expertise for a critical deadline, Consensus Consulting offers flexible secondment and contracting.

We integrate with your existing processes if needed, or bring our own and improve your systems if that's what you need.

Engineering and Management Services

We provide the services you need to move projects from concept to reality.

Civil & Structural Engineering

Designs for roads, drainage, slabs, walls, earthworks and more. We check combined service drawings and make sure it meets the standards.

Flood Modelling & WSUD

Water Goes downhill. But how far and how fast? We do the analysis and design of water systems to address authority comments and improve the site.

Land Development

Managing the subdivision process and zoning rules to get the most out of your land.

Project Management

Handling the whole process. We organise consultants, timelines, and stakeholders to keep the job moving.

Feasibility Studies & Cost Estimates

Check if it works before you start. We look at the costs and technical issues early on.

Investigations & Proof Engineering

Detailed technical reviews and checks to ensure designs are correct and safe.

Education & Upskilling

Training & Mentoring

We offer both in-house and external training for all things civil engineering. We bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application.

Strategic Engineering

Understanding the "why" before the "how". We provide training on high-level strategy, project feasibility assessment, and navigating the approvals process efficiently.

Stormwater Modelling

Comprehensive training in industry-standard hydraulic and hydrological software packages.

RORB HEC-RAS MUSIC EPA & SWMM DRAINS HY-8

Design & Documentation

Practical instruction on design assessment, construction plan creation, and spatial analysis tools.

QGIS AutoCAD 12d Model Design Assessment

Sustainable Outcomes

We believe that environmental rules should improve your project, not block it. By designing systems that work with nature, we create better solutions that authorities accept and people enjoy.
