I am a chartered Structural Engineer.
I have worked for over twenty years designing a mixture residential, commercial and light-industrial buildings. The majority of my work has been the design of new-build houses or alterations to existing houses.
I can also undertake structural surveys and provide reports, for example during home buying.
Recently I have been engaged to check existing roofs for the installation of solar panels.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN
I prepare structural calculations and drawings for superstructure and substructure works, either for new-build or for alterations.
I have a wide experience of domestic structures and I'm familiar with typical structural arrangements in traditional houses, including those in London.
REPORT WRITING
I 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.

HEALTHCARE PROJECTS
We have clients in both private & public healthcare sectors.
We have supervised extensive reinforced concrete repair work at a landmark London hospital and advised on countless smaller projects at the site, including the replacement of the primary boilers.
We have designed two new-build NHS hospitals in Surrey. We have designed structural elements for the re-development of existing hospitals in the private sector.
Past projects include a new-build community hospital and new-build residential care home.
