What we do
- Concept and scheme design, with options costed early
- Detailed design of concrete, steel, timber and masonry structures
- Foundation design from soil reports, including piles and rafts
- Structural integrity tests and repair design for existing buildings
- Checking of contractor designs and temporary works
How it works
- Brief and site visitWe walk the site, read the soil report and agree the loads and the budget.
- Scheme designTwo or three framing options with steel and concrete quantities so the cost plan is honest.
- Detailed designCalculations, drawings and bar schedules, checked by a second engineer.
- On siteInspections at key pours, cube test review and sign-off at each floor.

Questions from readers
Can you check a building that is already built?
Yes. Our structural integrity inspection includes visual survey, rebound hammer and core tests, and a written report with any repairs needed.
Do you work with my architect?
Almost always. We coordinate with the architect from scheme design so the structure fits the plan.
