CONSULTING STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS
We are a firm of consulting Structural Engineers established in 1966.
Our work, having been predominantly multi-storey office developments during the first three decades of the practice, now comprises a broad mixture of commercial, light-industrial, health care and residential. The majority of our work in recent years has been the design of new-build houses or mixed residential and commercial developments. We also undertake structural design for alterations and extensions to existing houses and advise on alterations to commercial and industrial buildings.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN
We prepare structural calculations and drawings for superstructure and substructure works, either for new-build or for alterations. We typically work with load-bearing masonry, steel or concrete framed superstructures and cast-insitu basements where required.
We have a wide experience of domestic structures and are familiar with typical structural arrangements in traditional houses, including those in London.
REPORT WRITING
We carry out structural reports required during house purchases, for example in the case that a Homebuyer Survey or lender's valuation has highlighted an aspect that needs a report from a Chartered Structural Engineer.
SITE VISITS
We often visit site to assist the contractor or to inspect reinforcement prior to pouring. We also visit if we have been asked to inspect and report on a structural problem.
DRAFTING AND DETAILING
We prepare general arrangement and detail dawings in-house, including reinforced concrete detail drawings and bending schedules.
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
A substantial portion of our work is on residential properties. We have been the structural design engineers for a great many one-off new-build houses, mostly in Surrey and Hertfordshire. We have also designed the structural elements for substantial refurbishment projects in London, often including new basements.
We have recently designed mixed commercial and residential developments in Hersham and Hoddesdon where multiple flats are built above retail space.
We also design structural elements for alterations and extensions to existing houses.
If you are buying a house and have had a structural concern flagged-up in your Homebuyer Survey, we can visit the house and report.
