Our founding director, Jaymes, brings a scientific mindset to Civil and Environmental 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 and environmental 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 institutions like La Trobe University and the University of Melbourne, as well as conducting corporate training and outreach, Jaymes enjoys helping people 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."

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.

Water Goes downhill. But how far and how fast? We do the analysis and design of water systems.

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.

Feasibility Studies

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

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.

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.
