Government & Administration
Structural engineering for government and administration buildings: town halls, authorities and offices, new build as well as refurbishment during operation.
Town halls, authorities, administrative buildings. Mostly refurbishment, rarely new build.
What we take on
- Structural design for new build and extension
- Refurbishment, alteration and change of use in existing buildings
- Structural verification for openings, lift installation and new loads
- Cost tracking to DIN 276 across the service phases
The typical case
A building from the sixties or seventies, at the end of its energy performance, with services of that era and a layout that no longer supports how people work. The question is refurbishment or replacement – and it is decided politically. We supply the defensible side of that: capacity reserves, hazardous material risks in the structure, feasible interventions, a cost envelope for both options.
During operation
An authority rarely moves out completely. We plan phases, interim arrangements and vibration limits so public access and workplaces continue.
Budgets
Public funds are committed by year. Cost certainty to DIN 276 is not a by-product – see cost control.
