The importance of working with the right engineer

Choosing the right engineer is crucial because it affects both construction costs and how smoothly your project runs.

Some may go for cheaper options, but we focus on expertise rather than cutting corners. Our experienced engineers prioritise accuracy and efficiency, avoiding the mistake of over-specifying requirements.

We’re committed to providing an engineer who understands the balance between structural integrity and cost-effectiveness. By specifying only what’s necessary, our engineers contribute to a smooth construction process, ensuring good results without unnecessary expenses.

Do I Need An Engineer for My Project?

Most residential alteration or extension projects will require the input of a structural engineer. An engineer will specify all of the supporting members used within construction including :

Load Analysis

Engineers evaluate the loads that the existing and proposed structures will bear, including dead loads, live loads, and environmental loads.

Structural Members Sizing

Calculating the size and dimensions of structural members to ensure they can safely carry the anticipated loads. This will include steel beams, columns timber joists and rafters and lintels.

Connection Details

Specifying how different structural elements will be connected to ensure stability and load transfer between the existing and new portions of the building.

Foundation Design

In certain situations the foundations will need to be designed by a structural engineer. This includes designing a foundation that provides sufficient support for the added structure, considering soil conditions, building weight, and potential settlement.
