D.INVENT'S INNOVATIONS
TRIAL AND USE
D.Consult provides professional consultation packages to help customers successfully apply
D.Invent's innovations to their own builds.
Options may vary depending on customer's demands, but basically, they include the three options
below.
- Complete design package for a brand-new residential or infrastructure
- Complete design package for a renovation, repair or repurposing of existing structures
- Sub-contracting, to work with/for a major design firm on certain part(s) of a design project.

SUSTAINABILITY-RELATED MATTERS
CUSTOMIZED CONSULTATION MODULES
A sustainable future build requires careful optimizations for both structural layout and material
distribution, to lower embodied carbon while ensuring the required strength, durability,
constructability, and affordability. The diagram above belongs to a material optimization project for
a two-story residential house in Sydney, using D.Invent's method. The work started with footings, main
columns (one of which is shown above), then cover the entire load-bearing skeleton. For each
structural component of the house, owners were well-informed with a clear interaction among
load-bearing capacities, embodied carbon, and cost estimate of all suitable options. Better decisions
can be made based on this work. The project was carried out by our engineers, started and completed in
2022. Copyright © D.Invent Pty Ltd.
D.Consult provides specialized, tailored consultation modules to better respond and satisfy
specific demands from the community. Our fields of practice are listed below:
- Structural optimization for material efficiency and save cost
- Based on Life-Cycle Analysis, selection of low-carbon alternatives of construction material, either individually or as a combination, to lower embodied carbon, moving toward carbon neutral (net-zero) for an entire service life of newly built residential and infrastructure
- Fire safety design and fire proofing for residential houses
- Flood resilience design, moving toward flood proofing for residential houses
- Optimization for better thermal insulation, air ventilation, and sound insulation
- Foundation assessment and design - soft-soil treatment and strengthening, long-term settlement prediction and compensation, footing design, pile system design
- Concrete structures - best design and construction practices to ensure quality and minimize premature cracking
- Steel and metal structures - best design and construction practices for corrosion protection
- Design of structural elements with special shapes and sizes, using advanced methods and inventive materials
- Construction supervision and on-site, real-time advice.

Most carbon emission over the entire life of a building comes from its normal operation's energy
consumption (e.g., air conditioning). Optimizing insulation capacity, therefore, is one of the key
steps to take to lower carbon emission. The diagram above belongs to an insulation optimization
project carried out by our engineers, started and completed in 2018. The work examined various options
for all external walls, considering insulation efficiency and cost, using advanced computer simulation
and analysis. Copyright © D.Invent Pty Ltd.
A long-standing structure requires a careful foundation analysis, soft-soil treatment, settlement
prediction, footing strength-stability checks, and/or pile system design. The bridge profile above is
one of more than 20 infrastructure projects, of which our engineers were in charge of foundation
assessment and design. Bridge details: Bung Bridge connecting Binh Tan and Tan Phu Districts, Ho Chi
Minh City, Vietnam. Concept design started in 2008, construction started in 2017, finished in 2022.
FREE COMMUNITY SUPPORT
YOU ASK,
WE ANSWER
WE ANSWER
D.Consult receives and provides free answers to address common technical concerns from the
community. The answers are provided as a general guidance to help clarify potential causes, effects,
and possible solutions.
This helps a person with limited engineering knowledge understand the situation and what needs to be
done, as a basic guidance, to overcome it, before contacting professional design/construction
services.

REAL-LIFE APPLICATIONS
D.Invent's innovations, once carefully tested to verify their advantages, will be integrated
into a practical use of residential and/or infrastructure.
Small-scale prototypes:
Residential houses, roads, bridges, and other practical structures are built at a quarter or a
half of their actual sizes in service, each of which is integrated with one or a combination of
D.Invent's innovations. These prototypes are then put through further testing and observation.
Improvements will be made, and the successful ones will be used as a base design for a
full-scale construction.
Prototypes of a concrete beam cast and tested for surface shrinkage. This is to evaluate a surface
treatment method, currently developed at D.Invent, to reduce cracking risk due to restrained
shrinkage. Copyright © D.Invent Pty Ltd.
Full-scale sample construction:
At this stage, a detailed design and construction of a practical structure, advanced from a
successful prototype, is produced. Each of them will be tested in a final round,
considering structural performance and serviceability.
Successful structures in a full-scale pilot build are then used for exhibition and
demonstration purposes.
Interested parties from the community are welcome and encouraged to
engage in the production, supervision, and trial of our pilot builds. Public feedback will be
collected, reviewed, and used for future improvements.
BEST PRACTICES
FREE TECHNICAL RESOURCES
D.Build regularly collects data from actual structures and construction process. It reviews and
produces free publications, as a general guidance, to address the most common, real-life issues and
potential measures to overcome, at least minimize, the impacts.
These publications aim to help not only professional designers and constructors, but more
importantly, also help an owner with limited engineering experience understand what could have,
should have, or must be done to avoid a similar issue.
