What does a structural engineer in Orpington do?
As a professional structural engineer in Orpington, we work alongside civil engineers and architects to construct the framework of structures. We do this by using our extensive knowledge to:

Research & Analyse
We use our extensive knowledge of physics and mathematics to predict the performance of certain materials (such as concrete and steel) and structural elements (such as walls and foundations) to ensure maximum safety, stability, and resilience by
- Analysing blueprints and maps.
- Analysing topographical (forms and features of land surface) data.
- Analysing environmental data.
This stage also allows us to provide estimates for the cost and quantities of materials, equipment, and labour. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us for a FREE quote.
Plan and Design
Once we have completed our analysis, we will use high-performance computer-aided-design or CAD programmes to create highly accurate 3D images. These will detail all the calculations and specifications that need to be adhered to throughout the construction process. Using these schematics during the build means that the final structure will be accurate, economical and safe.
Project Management
We work diligently alongside you, local authorities and architects to guide you through the process. This includes liaising any Building Regulations and Planning Permission packages, planning and structural calculations, as well as advice and support at every stage of development.
