Angular structure of a building

A structural/civil engineer's role is to design, analyse, and ensure the stability, safety, and integrity of building structures and components. Their responsibilities include:

  • Design and Analysis: Developing structural designs for buildings and assessing their ability to withstand various loads, such as gravity, wind, crowd loading, and live loads.
  • Materials Selection: Choosing appropriate construction materials based on strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Calculations: Performing complex mathematical calculations to determine the size and placement of structural elements like beams, columns, and foundations.
  • Construction Oversight: Overseeing construction to ensure that the structural design is implemented correctly and addressing any structural issues during the building process.
  • Safety: Ensuring the safety of occupants and the public by preventing structural failures and accidents.
  • Innovation: Finding innovative solutions to design challenges and employing cutting-edge materials and construction techniques where possible.
  • Collaboration: Working closely with architects, builders, and other professionals to integrate structural considerations into the overall building design.

With our engineers we make the process of design and consulting seamless, and our experience ensures that designs are carried out correctly and sustainably the first time.
