Offering a variety of uncategorized general engineering services designed to address unique construction challenges, ensuring quality and efficiency in every project.
Most homeowners think foundations cost £20k–£30k because contractors inflate numbers or blame Building Control. But when you break it down properly — using the correct structural design — the real cost is exactly what you see below. This matches the standard foundation design shown in your structural template S101 (GB-3 footing, C30 concrete, T12/T10 reinforcement). […]
Why lateral supports (tie-ins) matter A free-standing tower crane quickly reaches its stability limit as height and wind exposure increase. At set building levels, we brace the mast back to the permanent structure via engineered tie-ins so overturning and sway are controlled under storm wind and out-of-service conditions. The project document shows tie-in levels at […]
The South Clapham Development Project, nestled in the bustling neighborhood of Clapham, London, stands as a testament to the innovative integration of traditional and modern construction techniques. Managed by a leading .design and build contractor., this project exemplifies the seamless blend of materials such as bricks, stones, and a state-of-the-art rainscreen system, backed by the […]
In the world of construction, the integration of functional design with aesthetic appeal often dictates the success of a building’s exterior. One innovative approach in this area is the creation of custom-made steel frame structures for cladding, which combines robust material characteristics with versatile design possibilities. This blog delves into a recent project where a […]
Fire safety is paramount in all building projects, regardless of the structure’s height. Although buildings below 18 meters might not fall under the same stringent regulations as taller structures, they still require rigorous fire safety measures to protect occupants and property. This blog outlines a comprehensive firestopping project on a low-rise building, detailing how we […]
Fire safety is an integral part of modern construction, regardless of the building’s height. While high-rise structures above 18 meters typically receive the most scrutiny low-rise buildings can present significant fire risks that must be addressed. In this project we undertook the critical task of installing horizontal and vertical fire stops in a building below […]
Modern construction demands a harmonious blend of aesthetics, functionality, and safety. A critical component of this safety is the proper installation of fire stops in external wall systems. Fire stops, whether installed horizontally or vertically, play an essential role in preventing the rapid spread of fire, ensuring occupant safety, and maintaining building integrity. This blog […]
In modern construction, fire safety is one of the most critical considerations, especially for external walls and cladding systems. Fire stopping—installed both horizontally and vertically—is an essential element in ensuring that buildings are protected against the spread of fire and smoke. This blog delves into the importance of fire stopping, its role in external wall […]
In modern construction, the integration of energy efficiency and fire safety has become essential. External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems offer a practical solution to improve thermal performance while ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations, such as the External Wall System (EWS) certification. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of EWI systems, their compatibility with […]
