We provide all the structural design information needed for Pricing and Building Regulations purposes.

Design Risk Assessments
We usually begin with a site visit and work from the architect's drawings to develop the design. We offer ongoing assistance during the construction phase of the project and site visits can be arranged as requested to inspect the structural work.
Temporary Works Design
The temporary works are an important part of the structural work carried out on site.
The contractor is responsible for ensuring the stability of all parts of the building during construction and propping is generally required to enable the safe completion of the permanent works.
We work closely with the contractor to understand the particular site constraints and can provide a sequenced design where necessary to suit the programme of works.

(but not limited to):
-
Load bearing status of walls for wall removals and alterations
