Our services span structural and civil engineering design, together with building surveying, quantity surveying, project management, advice on health & safety and environmental issues, and expert witness services. Due to continued expansion of the Manchester office with ongoing recruitment of additional professional resources, we are pleased to announce the start of fitting out to new offices.

From new-build to conversions, refurbishments and extensions, we provide innovative structural designs for residential projects of all types. Adept at interpreting complex architectural briefs, we also understand the nuances of both modern and traditional construction techniques. Our reputation amongst developers for providing rigorous appraisals of challenging sites is second to none. We work for leading housebuilders and private developers, together with architects and contractors, on projects of all sizes, from small private houses to major developments valued at up to 50m.

We provide a full structural and civil engineering design service in the industrial sector. Working as a lead consultant, or as part of a team, we create robust and cost-efficient designs for new industrial buildings or to extend or upgrade existing units. We have a strong understanding of operational requirements, incorporating issues such as temperature, storage weight and future flexibility into our designs, as well as regulatory controls and commercial issues.

We have substantial experience of all types of commercial buildings, from offices and stores to hotels and restaurants, and even airports and bus stations. As well as delivering structural engineering design for bespoke new-build projects, we also carry out alterations and refurbishments to existing properties, including important historic buildings. Our services range from carrying out a risk assessment before site acquisition through to providing advice and design at any stage of a project.

We have extensive civil and structural engineering experience across a wide variety of waste facilities. We can develop new waste and recycling centres or provide advice on site modifications and extensions. Our services include substructure and superstructure design, together with associated work on roads and drainage. With a full appreciation of the intense usage and operational requirements of waste recycling facilities, and knowledge of regulatory controls, we provide designs that are high quality, robust and cost-effective.

Our highly qualified and experienced engineers play a key role in design and construction teams, working alongside architects and other professionals to create designs that deliver innovative and cost effective solutions for our clients.
