Structural Engineering
Structural engineering for concrete, steel and timber: consulting, design for building permits, detailed design, value engineering and structural fire protection.
Structures of every kind – concrete, steel, timber and composite, in new build and in existing buildings. We design to the Eurocodes and produce submissions in a form the independent checking engineer can approve.
From first advice to shop drawings
Most projects start with a question rather than a brief: will it carry? does the span work? what does the alternative cost? That is what structural consulting answers – early, with numbers, while the design can still move.
After that comes what has to come: design for the building permit, detailed design for site, and, depending on the method of construction, formwork and reinforcement drawings, steelwork shop drawings or shop and erection drawings for precast.
Service phases
We work across all service phases of the HOAI, Annex 14, the German fee scale schedule for structural design. Single phases or the full structural scope – either works, including taking over a project already under way.
A note for clients outside Germany
German building law requires an independent checking engineer to approve structural calculations for most buildings. That approval sits on the critical path, and a submission that invites questions costs weeks. We build the documents around that review, which is why the structure of the calculation matters as much as its content.
