Engineering for public buildings

The Chartered Engineers at Richard Herrmann Associates have been working alongside local authorities, district councils and county councils for many years, creating intelligent structural designs that surpass the needs of the general public. If you have an idea in mind, find the right solution with our experts, based in Cambridge.

Producing functional, inspiring structures for the public  

Public sector projects serve a vital role in supporting communities and delivering essential services, and we take great pride in being able to offer our support for these types of developments. Libraries, community halls and leisure facilities are just some of the varying assignments we’ve managed, working alongside councils to resolve construction issues and bring a fresh, dynamic approach to public building design.   

 

As to be expected, we maintain appropriate health and safety policies, accountable financial practices, and undergo suitable company training in accordance with supplier criteria and the rules and regulations set out by councils internally. By going the extra mile, we leave no stone unturned, offering our clients a proactive, comprehensive solution where project challenges are mitigated.

Quick action for councils and service users

When it comes to building issues that impact facility users, councils must act quickly. By recognising this, our teams are flexible to the needs of our clients, allowing you to respond in the right way when the need arises. Going forward, we can also work with you to create and enhance structures in a way that promotes inclusivity, from accessible entrances to clear navigation within the building. To this end, we can ensure your building is welcoming and practical for all.

Aesthetic buildings for modern users

Sustainability is also a priority in public sector projects. We design buildings that are energy-efficient and environmentally conscious, contributing to the long-term sustainability goals of local authorities and governments across the UK. Our approach integrates modern systems for lighting, ventilation, and climate control, ensuring that the building is both cost-effective and eco-friendly, especially as building usage evolves.

Thoughts from those that matter most

"RHA carried out a structural survey for our church roof at short notice for an urgent matter. Really grateful for Richard's efficient service, expert opinion and great communication which ensured we could take remedial action and not have a lengthy delay on our project. Recommend without hesitation."

New galvanised steel staircase

An existing timber staircase was replaced with a galvanized steel staircase with concrete filled treads and landings.  Glazed handrailing was provided, that was designed by specialists, and this required careful co-ordination with the primary structure.
