reports and defects

We still undertake surveys and reports relating to a wide variety of structural defects. We are well versed in the issues surrounding subsidence.

We visit the property to carry out a visual inspection and provide a report discussing the issues, identifying the cause of the movement, or providing recommendations for further investigation.

We also make recommendations for necessary remedial work.

New build development

New build developments ranged from private houses to multi-storey blocks. We worked closely with the design team to ensure the structure was compatible with the architectural and mechanical requirements as well as being the most economically designed.

We understood the importance of preventing structural elements from intruding into usable space and strove for solutions that were elegant from both the structural and architectural perspective.

See Gallery pages 1 & 3.

refurbishment & alteration

Typically we provided working drawings, details and calculations for building extensions, loft conversions and all types of structural refurbishment works. We worked from architect's drawings or direct from client instructions.

A typical project involved an initial visit to the property to investigate the existing structural arrangement and then the production of drawings, calculations, and specifications for the purpose of obtaining tender prices, Building Regulations approval and construction. Where requested, we carried out inspections of building work in progress on site.
