An experienced team of Chartered Engineers
Becoming a Chartered Engineer is a lengthy and challenging process but one that ensures the engineer meets the high standards set by the Institution of Structural Engineers or the Institute of Civil Engineers. After earning a degree in structural engineering, a graduate must accumulate years of experience in the industry before sitting a rigorous seven-hour exam that tests their design, drawing, and communication abilities. With only a 25% first-time pass rate, successfully completing this exam signifies a high level of technical expertise and professionalism.
We are proud that every project we undertake is either designed or overseen by a Chartered Engineer. This ensures that the extensive technical knowledge and experience gained throughout our careers is applied to every project we put our hands to. Having a Chartered Engineer involved guarantees the project is coordinated at all stages - both within our team and with external parties - a factor that’s crucial for avoiding common pitfalls and ensuring your project’s success.
Our consulting civil structural engineers bring decades of hands-on expertise across a range of key disciplines—ensuring each project benefits from focused attention and robust, fit-for-purpose solutions. With over 6,500 completed projects, we remain the preferred choice for clients seeking precise, professional, and detail-oriented engineering support.

FAQs
Can you provide structural calculations for my project?
Yes, we supply detailed structural calculations, sketches and drawings for building control approval and construction. We ensure that the level of time and detail spent on a project is appropriate for the scale and intended use.
Whether you are planning to carry out work or are already underway, please contact us to see how we can assist.
Do you work with architects and contractors?
Absolutely. We collaborate with local and national architects, contractors, and other professionals to ensure smooth project execution.
We also work alongside technical clients, such as manufacturing managers or specialist contractors to assist them with carrying out their project.
Can you help with planning permission?
While we don’t handle planning applications directly, we can offer the services of a ‘planning preparation’ company that we work closely with (www.hbplanning.co.uk). This relationship means that we can provide early structural advice at planning application stage. Should you later require structural design input we would be happy to undertake this to support your subsequent Building Regulations application.
Do you have experience in my particular project?
Having been around since 1987, we’re proud to hold a vast level of knowledge and experiences from all areas of civil and structural engineering. It’s very likely that we have dealt with something similar before and can bring our expertise to your project.

How do you ensure your designs are sustainable?
We incorporate sustainable practices and materials into our designs to create environmentally friendly and resilient structures. This includes considering the initial client and building needs, efficiency of design to minimise material use, adopting recycled and/or recyclable materials whereever possible, and designing in an inherent building longevity.
By making the initial building design efficient we are minimising material use, but by carefully designing in load carrying capacity and an element of future proofing the building, we can also avoid future carbon expenditure, along with client costs.
What services do you offer for commercial projects?
We provide structural feasibility studies, 3D analysis, BIM modelling, detailed design drawings and calculations.
We provide this information for structural building and civil engineering projects.
We are also very experienced in inspecting existing building defects and providing remedial guidance.
