OUR SERVICES

Refurbishments and Renovations

We enhance existing structures with a blend of modern design, functionality, and sustainability. Using premium materials and expert craftsmanship, we create spaces that are more than just buildings—they are expressions of your unique vision.

Site Visit & Assessment

We recommend scheduling a site visit to discuss the project scope in detail. During the visit, our engineer will review and address critical aspects, including:

Developing plans for structural modifications and identifying the need for temporary support.
Considering potential Party Wall issues and the impact on neighbouring properties.
Conducting a comprehensive property inspection to identify necessary repairs or areas for improvement.
Assessing surrounding trees for potential impact on foundations and reviewing geological data to determine ground conditions.

Design & Planning

Our engineers create detailed structural plans based on architectural designs or dimension surveys to ensure comprehensive coverage of essential structural elements. This includes:

Detailed Structural Design: Analysing proposed modifications to determine the additional structural support required and preparing calculations for Building Control compliance. These designs are finalised in detailed drawings for use in the construction and pricing phases.
Site-Specific Analysis: Evaluating local ground conditions using geological data, test pits, or soil testing when necessary.
Regulatory Compliance: Compiling documentation that aligns with Part A of the Building Regulations.
On-Site Inspections: Conducting on-site assessments to verify that construction adheres to our designs.

Our goal is to prioritise your needs, ensuring a well-managed and expertly designed project.
