Services
Structural Calculations
We provide precise structural calculations for new builds, alterations and residential or commercial extensions. Our calculations guarantee compliance with Building Regulations and assist contractors in delivering safe, economical structures. This ensures clients receive reliable designs that minimise rework, control costs and meet programme deadlines.
Pre-planning feasibility studies
We conduct pre-planning feasibility studies to assess the structural viability of proposed developments for clients. Our analysis identifies potential structural risks early, enabling clients to make informed design decisions. This proactive approach reduces project delays and ensures cost-effective solutions through detailed site investigations and load assessments.
Temporary works design
We design temporary works to support construction activities and ensure structural stability during building projects. Our detailed designs comply with health and safety regulations, protecting workers and preventing delays. This enables clients to proceed confidently with safe, efficient temporary structures that meet programme requirements.
Structural Surveys
We carry out comprehensive structural surveys to identify defects, movement and material deterioration. Our inspections examine the whole property or specific areas showing signs of structural concern. We then provide clear opinions on causes and recommend practical remedial solutions for clients.
Structural inspections
We perform detailed structural inspections of properties to assess condition and identify defects. Our observations highlight structural movement, cracks and load-bearing issues, providing clients with actionable insights. This thorough assessment helps clients prioritize repairs and maintain building safety and value.
