  • Structural survey of a potential house purchase.

    2Verified Review

    Terrible service. If you want someone who is professional, writes their own reports is accurate and timely do not use this company. I requested a structural survey on a property. When the report arrived 2 weeks later, it contained numerous inconsistencies, inaccuracies and contradictions. The wrong address. Stating 'clear evidence of subsidence' in one section and 'no structural movement' in another. The 4 for courtesy is for his PA. Paul said he doesn't write his own reports - it was clearly a copy and paste job. 15% discount accepted. Revised report correct but still not on time.

  • Inspection for regularisation

    8Verified Review

    I was buying an older property that didn’t have building regulations sign off for work done 20 years ago. I spoke to Paul who replied promptly. He carried out a detailed survey of an RSJ and submitted the report and calculations I needed to apply for regularisation (retrospective application). The work was urgent so I could exchange on the property with confidence the work had been done to standard. I used his reports to make the application which is currently under consideration. My only suggestion would be better communication on how long the report would take to come through.

  • Chimney breast safety

    9.33Verified Review

    Paul was very prompt and the communication with his office was very clear. He was very nice. The drawings he gave me were for my builders to execute and once we had cleared up a miscommunication all was resolved quickly.

    We needed some steel calcs and a bridging design at short notice to bridge a sewer pipe that we were building over. Design and calcs received really quickly and very professional pack included via email. Expensive, but responsive.

Company info

Our mission is to provide clients across the United Kingdom with structural engineering services for all types of buildings, from concept planning through completion, with a highly skilled professional team working together, using common sense and practical experience.

Temporary works are the parts of a construction project that are needed to enable the permanent works to be built. Usually the temporary works are removed after use - e.g. Facade Retention, Temporary Supports & Restraints, Demolition, Protection, Access Scaffold & Gantry Structures, Sheet Piling & Retaining Structure Design, Underpinning Design, Piling Platform / Mat Design, Needle Shoring & Propping Design, Tower Crane Bases/ Foundation & Hoist, Mobile Crane Outrigger Load Check, Temporary Support for Basement design, Falsework & Formwork Design, Hoarding & Site Entrance Gate Design, Mortar Silo Base Design, Site Cabin Base Design, Category 2 & 3 Checks, Practical Floor Load Test – (for machine loading), Acting as Temporary Works Co-ordinator etc.

Permanent works are the parts of a construction project that will be used and remain in position for a long time - e.g. 60 years - e.g. Foundation Design – Strip Pads, Piles & Ground Beams etc., Domestic & Commercial Premises Conversions, Steel Frame, Beam, Columns & Connection, Fabrication & Detailing, Timber Frame Design, Retaining Wall, Concrete Elements Design, Concrete Reinforcement Detailing etc.

As the Temporary Works Engineer, we coordinate design, selection of equipment, appointment of contractors, supervision of work, checking completion, authorisation to load and removal; thoroughly and systematically. Temporary works can be very sensitive to how they are used and are easily affected by other work taking place nearby.  For these reasons the TW designer needs TW training and experience.
