Structural Engineering

When a new building is designed or alterations made to an existing building, it is likely that some structural elements (foundations, beams, floors, roof, walls etc.) will need to be designed or verified to ensure their strength and stability.

Structural calculations and details are generally prepared for submission to the Local Authority for Building Regulations Approval.
