What makes your consultancy different from others?
We take a practical, real-world approach to engineering. Rather than providing generic calculations, we assess each project individually to identify the safest and most cost-efficient solution. Clients appreciate our clear communication, quick turnaround, and builder-friendly designs.

Do you provide on-site visits if required?
Yes. While many projects can be completed remotely using provided drawings/photos, we also offer on-site assessments for structural surveys, defect inspections and complex projects where a visit is beneficial.
