Structural Consulting
Structural consulting in early project stages: feasibility, comparison of options, spans and construction methods – with reliable figures before the design is fixed.
The most expensive decisions are made before the first member is analysed. That is why a structural engineer is worth having at the table while the design can still move.
Questions we answer
- Does the grid carry the design, or does it need one more column?
- Which method of construction fits: reinforced concrete, steel, timber, composite?
- What does a longer span mean for structural depth, foundations and cost?
- What loads will the existing building take if storeys are to be added?
What you get
A comparison of options with preliminary sizing, structural depths and member sizes, and an assessment of effort and risk. Short enough to work through in one meeting.
