"RTS Civil provided me with a stormwater plan and were great to deal with. Communication was clear, simple options explained and the turnaround on the documents was fast. Great service!"
Ben Johnson - Architectwww.benedictdesign.com.au
"I highly recommend RTS Civil Consulting Engineers. My house building approval had taken a long time to be finalised through council, and once it came through it had a condition for a detailed stormwater management plan. RTS Civil came through for me and did the plan very quickly and in the level of detail I needed as an owner builder. I was able to finalise my construction certificate quickly and my build is underway. The cost for the work was also very competitive."
David Walker - Owner Builderwww.ezyhomes.com.au
"Our dealings commenced with Rhys Mikhail many years ago. At all times we have found Rhys to be efficient, informative, professional and a great problem solver. He has a 'can do' attitude and great attention to quality and detail. We would have no hesitation in recommending RTS Civil to any potential client."
Andrew Johnson - Builderwww.goodfoundationsbuilding.com.au
"Rhys and his team were such a breath of fresh air when dealing with all the paperwork for our DA. From the beginning they stood out from everyone else. Rhys personally followed up with a phone call after my online query. They were always easily to contact, discuss and very prompt replies to emails. I would highly recommend RTS Civil and certainly use them again."
Victoria Leonard - Home Owner
"I've worked with the team at RTS Civil for different 'new' development projects. They engineer great outcomes for your project from a cost and design point of view while meeting council objectives to get your developments across the line. The team always meet the timelines they commit to and work with you through the entire project with your trades engaged. I have no hesitation in recommending RTS Civil and in fact, I already do! To which the people that choose to engage them are glad they did over other consultants!"
Lucas Laxale - Building Developerwww.laxale.com.au
"Very professional, efficient and friendly, Rhys was always responsive to the many questions I had. Also reasonable pricing! Thank you to the RTS Civil team for all the work they did! I will definitely use again and recommend."
Garo Assarian - Home Ownerwww.k2ds.com.au
“My architectural practice has worked with Rhys for a period of over 10 years, while he was employed elsewhere and now in his own practice. It is testament to my view of his work that I chose to follow him when he established his own practice. Hydraulics engineering is deceptively complicated, and while drawings often look simple, there are a number of often conflicting parameters governing the proposed design solution. I have found Rhys to be a great communicator and particularly adept at explaining the complexities of his proposals in a way that both my clients and I can understand and incorporate..."
Matt Elkan - Architectwww.mattelkanarchitect.com.au
"...I have also found Rhys to be tenacious in his drive to find outcomes which meet all the necessary legislative rules as well as fitting with the design ethos of each individual project. We rely on skilled specialist consultants in a range of fields in order to be able to design buildings that work well, and we value the relationships we have formed with professionals who continue to support our work with skill and care. For this reason, we continue to work with Rhys and recommend his practice highly."
Matt Elkan - Architectwww.mattelkanarchitect.com.au
"RTS Civil are focused on customer satisfaction. They want to know customer expectation and do their best to achieve it. Technically, they propose solutions and options that apply to your project as well as discuss reasons and best practice for each situation. I'm pleased to say that I would use their service again and I am happy to recommend RTS Civil."
Leticia Coelho - Home OwnerYG & Partners Architects
"I engaged RTS Civil for a small hydraulic flow study for a local council development condition. I could not have been happier with the job from start to finish. My main contact, Rhys Mikhail, was responsive with quotes, questions that I had, advice, and referrals. Rhys' technical negotiation with council was successful. RTS Civil charge rates are reasonable, and, in the end I was very happy with the result. It was the best I could have hoped for!"
Michael Bradbery - Owner Builderwww.capecod.com.au
"Always a pleasure to work with you. Thank you!"
Johanna Griggs - Host of Channel 7's House Rules & Better Homes and GardensPoole J Architects

My complex heritage problem and some strange requirements were made simple by Rhys and RTS Civil through their support, flexibility and expertise. I would happily recommend Rhys and the RTS Civil team to help you with your future projects and home."
