Read an example here. We aim to deliver the most efficient design for every project. The team is very experienced in finding and testing efficient solutions and working under pressure from contractors in the design and build environment.
Domestic Clients
If you have a property in Southampton or the surrounding area and are planning a complex extension, like a basement, or a swimming pool then it is never too early to speak to a structural engineer to see what is feasible. Similarly, if you’re planning a new build, or the restoration of a listed building or barn conversion it is a good idea to consult a structural engineer early on in the process.
One way we add value to our residential clients is by helping them understand that a large percentage of the costs of a new build or an extension is in the ground, in the foundations. Getting this right and finding a suitable solution can save significant amounts of time and budget.
Structural Engineers, like ourselves, are vital when it comes to understanding whether you can have the extension, annex, basement or swimming pool you desire. We can complete a feasibility study for your project before you spend money on architects, other consultants, and planning applications – saving you money and heartache in the long run; saving you from falling in love with an expensive architect’s design that is not feasible to build.

Guarantees
Large residential project
We were asked to design an extension with 62 additional self-contained apartments for this extra-care facility in Bishopsworth. The extension included a semi-basement and is an example of how we work in cooperation with other contractors, to anticipate and avoid any issues on site.
Basements for Homes
This basement was designed originally to hold a turn-table for cars. Having been brought onto the project for a second opinion, we were able to alter the plans to provide a better solution that reduced the budget and delivered a large enough basement for the client’s vehicles, without a turntable.
Structural engineering projects
The stunning Aston Martin showroom is an award-winning project we completed in Bristol. This was a specialist high-end project that had to radiate luxury to match the standards of the Aston Martin clientele. It is a testament to our abilities as a team to design and deliver where there is zero margin for error.
