Foundation for Success: Feasibility Studies and Structural Design in Huntingdon
Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd provides expert building feasibility study services and meticulous structural design services, forming the critical foundation for successful projects in Huntingdon. We understand that before any capital is committed to a construction or refurbishment scheme, a clear, risk-managed path to structural feasibility must be established. For over four decades, our experienced team has combined deep engineering insight with architectural pragmatism to ensure your development is viable, compliant, and cost-effective from the very outset. If you need structural feasibility and design services, then our team is ready to help. Contact us to get started.

Strategic Building Feasibility Study Services
Our building feasibility study services provide clients with an essential, objective assessment of a proposed project’s viability. We specialize in comprehensive preliminary planning that anticipates roadblocks and maximizes investment potential. This involves detailed site analysis, rigorous checks against local planning regulations in Huntingdon, preliminary cost estimations, and the identification of geotechnical or environmental risks. By completing this critical initial phase, we ensure that clients move forward with confidence, armed with the data necessary to secure planning permission and investment before significant time and resources are expended.
Precision Structural Design Services
Complementing our planning expertise are our precise structural design services. Our qualified structural engineers are responsible for creating the robust, safe framework of your building. This involves meticulously calculating all imposed loads, designing efficient foundations (from shallow rafts to deep piling), and specifying materials like steel and reinforced concrete. We ensure the structural solution is not only compliant with all current UK building regulations but is also seamlessly integrated with the architectural design, delivering an efficient, durable, and structurally sound building that is engineered to endure.


Providing sound, logical and valuable structural advice
Our structural feasibility and design services are focused on delivering practical, efficient, and reliable insight that caters to the unique needs of your project. As a firm that has supported many projects across the UK since 1987, we appreciate the significance of the early planning and preparation stages. To give you a clearer picture of the site’s potential, any hurdles to overcome, and how best to achieve your ambitions, our Chartered engineers can provide the expert guidance your project might be missing.
Throughout the design process, we remain focused on cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Our goal is to provide solutions that not only consider structural and safety requirements but also keep projects within budget and on schedule. By carefully considering materials, methods, and design choices, we help clients achieve the best possible outcomes for their investment. Our targeted attention to detail will ensure that the right people deliver the right results for your project, an attribute that sees clients return to us time after time.

Analysing your proof of concept
Feasibility studies are the foundation of any successful project. By assessing the structural requirements and potential challenges early on, we help clients determine the best approach to move forward. These studies examine everything from the building’s location and ground conditions to the materials and design considerations that may influence the structure. This ensures that any potential issues are identified and addressed before they become costly problems later in the process. With this approach and experience, Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd can provide preliminary design advice, helping you understand any structural implications of the initial concept and help to streamline the design process to align with your project’s objectives.
Your structural design expert
In addition to initial feasibility studies, we offer detailed structural services that ensure every project is backed by a robust and reliable design. Our team works closely with architects, developers, and contractors to create detailed designs that align with both the practical needs and the overall vision of the project. Whilst you may question the need to seek our services at such an early stage, this investment will usually reap huge rewards by bringing considerable efficiencies to the construction process, which results in overall cost savings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Building Feasibility and Design
What is the purpose of a building feasibility study?
-
The purpose of a building feasibility study is to assess the viability of a proposed project before significant capital is committed. It identifies potential risks, checks regulatory compliance (including planning laws in Huntingdon), and provides accurate preliminary cost estimates, ensuring the project is strategically sound.
What is included in your structural design services?
-
Our structural design services cover the creation of your building's essential framework. This includes meticulously calculating all imposed loads, designing and specifying secure foundations and load-bearing structures (using materials like steel and reinforced concrete), and ensuring the design is compliant with all UK building regulations.
How does combining the study and structural design benefit my project?
-
Combining these services ensures a seamless and risk-managed project. The feasibility study identifies potential roadblocks, while the structural design translates the viable concept into a safe, durable, and cost-effective construction plan, maximizing your investment and avoiding costly redesigns later on.
Is your structural design expertise limited to new builds?
-
No. While we design new construction, our expertise extends to advising on extensions, refurbishments, and complex alterations of existing buildings. We ensure that any structural changes are safely implemented, compliant, and integrated with the building's existing framework.
