Comprehensive Structural Engineering Services

Structural Design

We offer safe, efficient, and tailored structural designs for projects of all sizes, from domestic builds to commercial developments. Our solutions comply with building regulations and balance safety, cost-effectiveness, and functionality.

Foundation Design

We provide professional assessments and foundation designs tailored to ground conditions and structural needs. Serving projects across Kent and the UK, we handle everything from new builds to remedial work on existing properties. Our expertise ensures long-term stability while complying with building regulations for your project’s integrity.

Subsidence Investigations

Subsidence can cause serious structural issues. We conduct investigations and provide remedial designs to identify root causes and offer effective solutions.

We assist homeowners, insurers, and contractors with inspections, underpinning, and foundation strengthening, leveraging our expertise in Kent’s soil conditions.

Structural Calculations for Domestic Alterations

For home improvements like extensions or loft conversions, structural calculations are vital for Building Regulations compliance.

We provide clear reports to support your application and guide contractors, covering steel beam specifications and load assessments for structurally sound and cost-effective alterations.

Other Services

We design temporary works like scaffolding and shoring for construction projects, ensuring safety and structural stability across all project sizes.

We provide hazardous structure reports for unstable buildings, offering expert assessments that identify risks and recommend remedial actions to ensure safety.
