Structural Engineering Process
Our processes are a combination of structural engineering principles and practical considerations to ensure stability, safety and functionality of the structure.
Concept Stage
At the concept stage, we work closely with architects, developers, and clients to understand the project requirements and establish the structural proposal, This stage is crucial in identifying key risks and maximising potential. Our engineers assess feasibility, explore solutions, and develop preliminary designs that align with project goals and budget constraints. Using both advanced engineering techniques and drawing on our experience, we provide structural concepts that will optimise material efficiency and performance while ensuring compliance with building regulations and industry standards.
Detailed Design Stage
During the detailed design stage, we refine and develop the concept proposal, incorporating detailed calculations, material specifications, and construction methodologies. Our team utilises the latest design software and in-depth analysis to ensure structural integrity and stability. We produce comprehensive drawings, models and documentation that meet regulatory requirements, facilitating seamless integration and coordination with the design team and other specialist disciplines. The result is a robust, detailed design that is both functional and cost-effective, ready to be realised in the construction stage.
Construction Stage
At construction stage, we provide ongoing technical support and site supervision to ensure all structural elements are implemented according to design specifications and requirements. With a commitment to maintain open communication, we with contractors to monitor progress, address unforeseen challenges and oversee compliance with the detailed design. Through proactive problem solving and efficient project management, we help deliver projects on time and within budget.
We work closely with construction teams to oversee the implementation of the design to ensure works are completed to industry standards.

FAQs
What is Structural Engineering?
Structural engineers deal with the design, construction and maintenance of structures such as buildings, bridges and stadia.
The primary goal of structural engineering is to ensure that these structures are safe, stable and able to withstand the loads and forces they may be subjected to during their lifespan.
Structural engineers are responsible for determining the materials and structural elements needed to resist those forces.
They must consider factors such as the materials used, environmental conditions and the intended use of the structure.
What should I look for in a Stuctural Engineering Firm?
We want the experience of working with us be be a good one and adhere to the following suggestions of what you should look for in a structural engineer.
Firstly, find a qualified and reliable professional. Look for those who are professionally qualified, licensed and certified by relevant professional organisations, such as IStructE.
Consider the engineer’s experience. Look for someone who has worked on projects similar to yours in terms of size, complexity and type of structure.
Effective communication is essential for successful collaboration on a construction project.
How do I become a Structural Engineer?
We welcome all who are interested in developing a career in structural engineering. Your journey to becoming a structural engineer starts with an academic study or an apprenticeship.
Many begin their careers by studying towards accredited MEng degrees in engineering, which are a good academic base. Some choose to both work and study through apprenticeships. Others select the Technician route, which is a great stepping stone to Chartered Membership.
After completing your studies, you go on to develop while working and gaining hands-on experience that cannot be learned in the classroom.
