Practice Areas
Buildings and Footbridges: Design and Assessment
Our field of expertise covers design, assessments and historical structures for both buildings and light infrastructure including waterside projects.
Residential Structural Engineer's Reports
We aim to reduce conveyancing delays while gaining a full understanding of the condition of a building, property or site.
A generic RICS inspection, even if called 'Full Structural Survey' is only the first step in fully clarifying the extent of potential structural issues.
Our team can open up foundations, expose structural elements, or scan concrete reinforced structures as required.
The production of reports for agricultural buildings being developed into residential dwellings, particularly multi-bay slender agricultural units, requires a full numerical assessment and a calculations report, as no-one can ascertain such buildings' structural condition by merely visually inspecting them.
Expert Witness
A qualified structural engineer can help you with independent advice to support your case. We prepare Part 35 Compliant Expert Witness Reports. Unqualified technical advisors may render null any claim or agreement.
Building Regulations Approvals
The issue of a building regulations approval is equivalent to certifying that the design follows basic normative. We have experience delivering the technical documents required for a variety of projects including residential and industrial projects.
Structural Surveys Tools - Specialist Equipment
Seeing is believing. Our surveys will expose hidden parts of the structures if necessary. When not possible, we use specialist equipment, including concrete resistivity measurement tools, Schmidt Hammers and a PS-300 Ferro-scanner. Our latest area of interest is movement Sensors. There is little point in expending thousands on geotechnical investigations for your seaside property when the source of the cracks in your building is the new double-decker bus route.
Temporary Works and Independent Checks
From full design to independent checks. Production of liability certificates and endorsement.
Temporary work designs can be as intricate as the permanent structure they serve, and in most cases, worth an independent professional review. How many millions are lost every year in failed or delayed projects lacking essential peer reviews? Are you willing to expose your company to that risk? Independent checks have been our specialist activity for years.
