Structural Design

New frames, foundations and extensions engineered for safety, economy and buildability — 120 projects delivered.

Service Introduction

Frames that stand up — on paper first

Structural design is the core of my practice: turning architectural intent into a frame that carries every load safely to the ground. I model gravity, wind and seismic forces, size every member and connection, and detail foundations for your exact soil conditions.

Every package is independently checked by a second engineer before it leaves my office, so what arrives on site is coordinated, buildable and ready for permit.

Process

From brief to beams in four steps

01.

Brief & survey

Drawings review, site visit and soil report analysis with a fixed fee agreed.

02.

Modelling

Frame analysis under all load combinations, optimised for material economy.

03.

Checking

Independent review by a second licensed engineer before anything is issued.

04.

Issue & support
