What does a structural engineer in London do?
As a trusted structural engineer in London, we construct the framework of structures alongside civil engineers and architects. We make sure they can withstand the stresses of their environment, can support the weight of people and equipment, and remain stable in all weather conditions. We do this by using our extensive knowledge to:
Research & Analyse

We use our knowledge of physics and mathematics, to predict the performance of materials (such as concrete and steel) and structural elements (such as walls and foundations) to ensure complete safety, stability, and resilience by:
- Analysing blueprints and maps.

- Analysing environmental data.
At this point, we will also be able to provide estimates for the cost and quantities of materials, equipment, and labour. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for a FREE quote.
Plan and Design
Once research and analysis are complete, we can begin designing and planning for construction. Using use high-tech computer-aided design (CAD) systems, we will create accurate, 3D designs of structures and infrastructures before construction begins. This means that the final structure will be guaranteed to withstand environmental pressure, will be sustainable, economical and, most importantly, structurally safe.
