Residential Structural Engineering Services
Engineering Solutions for Every Stage of Your Project
From structural design and calculations to inspections and Building Control support, we provide reliable engineering solutions tailored to every stage of your residential project.
Our Services
Structural Design & Calculations
The foundation of every project is a well-considered structural scheme. We develop efficient, buildable structural designs tailored to each project — balancing technical requirements, architectural intent and construction constraints. We prepare complete structural calculation reports for Building Control approval in compliance with Part A.
Structural Detailing
Good structural detailing is what bridges the gap between design and construction. We produce clear, buildable structural drawings and construction details that contractors can work from with confidence, coordinated with the architectural drawings and reflecting how things are actually built on site. We also produce specific details upon request to assist architects or contractors facing technical challenges during construction. Steel connection details are exported fabrication-ready, reducing delays and errors during the procurement and construction process.
Temporary Works Design
Structural alterations, wall removals, excavations, underpinning and basement propping all require temporary support before the permanent structure is in place. We design temporary works solutions — including propping schemes, needling and shoring — that keep the construction process safe and on programme.
Building Control Support
Navigating Building Control can be one of the more time-consuming parts of a project. We coordinate technical submissions, respond to queries from Building Control officers, and ensure all structural information is in order for approval. We also support clients who need to get sign-off on projects already under way — helping to resolve outstanding structural queries and bring the approval process to a close.
Structural Inspections
We carry out structural assessments for properties presenting structural concerns or defects — identifying the root cause of the problem and delivering a clear Structural Condition Report with actionable recommendations and a plan of action.
