# ACSES Engineers

Premium structural, civil, and geotechnical engineering consultancy based in Sydney, Australia. Founded and led by George Khalil. 25+ years of engineering experience. Over 1,000 projects delivered across Sydney and Australia.

## What makes ACSES different

ACSES is chartered across four disciplines: structural engineering, civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, and project management / leadership. Most projects need all four. ACSES delivers them as one coordinated scope, under one invoice.

The firm's core philosophy is first-principles thinking and holistic design. Every drawing accounts for every constraint (architect, builder, budget, council, crane placement, pour capacity, adjacent structures) before it leaves the office. ACSES is approximately double most competitors on price and deliberately so — the Mercedes-Benz of engineering firms.
