Underscore Projects provides hydraulic services design for commercial, health, education and industrial buildings in Sydney and across New South Wales. Our engineers came to consulting from tier-one construction, so every drawing set we issue is prepared by people who have had to build from one. That contractor-led philosophy shapes how we size, route and document every system. Compliance with AS/NZS 3500, the Plumbing Code of Australia and Sydney Water or local water authority requirements is where our design starts. Constructability is what we add on top.
As hydraulic consultants, we design the full range of building water, drainage and gas services. That includes cold and hot water reticulation, sanitary plumbing and drainage, and natural gas and LPG systems. We also design pump systems, stormwater management and water sensitive urban design (WSUD), trade waste, rainwater harvesting and backflow prevention. For campuses and multi-stage sites, we provide hydraulic infrastructure master planning.
We work with architects, developers, asset managers and head contractors from feasibility through to construction and certification. Engaging us before tender lets us test authority connections, available pressure and flow, and plantroom space while the design can still change. That protects your bargaining position when the trade packages go out. Documentation is signed off by our Registered Design Practitioner and written to be priced and built with as little interpretation as possible. It is how we keep requests for information (RFIs) and variations to a minimum once construction starts.
