Architects
Structural engineering for architects: specialist design within your team, from concept to detailed design, with options rather than constraints.
We are the specialist designer in your team. The design is yours.
What you need from us
- Structural concepts that carry the design instead of correcting it
- Options at concept stage, while there is still room
- Reliable dimensions for your drawings, early and not provisional
- Verification and detailed design that match what was consented
How we work
When a structural engineer joins only after the concept, all that is left to them is making members deeper. We work alongside you through concept and developed design and say what each span costs – in centimetres of slab depth, not in reservations.
Where something will not work, we say so with an alternative. Where it will work but gets expensive, we say what it costs and you decide.
Interfaces
We take on the coordination with services, building physics and the checking engineer rather than handing it back to you. Model-based if you work model-based – see BIM.
For alteration and added storeys we provide the capacity reserves before you draw – see existing structures.
