Stuctural Design Services
Experienced, practical, responsive
Our practical and thoughtful approach to structural design aims to get it right first time and deliver great value.
With experience and attention to detail, our goal is to provide practical solutions, identifying and designing out issues before they arise so works can proceed on site without interruption or delay.
We provide structural calculations and drawings for submitting to Building Control and our clear and detailed output ensures your construction team have the information they need to build your project efficiently to Building Regulation standards.
If support is needed during construction, we understand time is money and are responsive to queries, can attend site meetings and will work with you and your team to find solutions.
Collaborative
We work closely with Architects and other members of the design team to be sure we understand and assist with the design goals of each project.
We recognise that aesthetics are important and can provide structural solutions that allow flush ceilings, open plan spaces and attention to detail to help realise your architectural vision.
We also understand every job has a budget and can offer suggestions for reducing structural works and costs.
More than structural design
We understand that every project has competing elements. With an in-depth knowledge of Building Regulations and a good knowledge of Planning Permission, Permitted Development (PD) rights and the Party Wall Act, we offer a pragmatic and flexible approach to every project.
