Two disciplines, rarely combined
Structural credentials (IEng MICE) and quality management credentials (MCQI CQP) sit with the same practice. Most consultancies offer one or the other.

How It Works
Five clear steps — fast turnaround, engineer sign-off on every package.
Tell us about the project — a call or a few photos and drawings is usually enough for an indicative fee within 24 hours.
We confirm existing structure, loads and constraints — in person for inspections, or remotely from architect's drawings.
Structural calculations and drawings are produced to a fast, confirmed turnaround on standard domestic packages.
Every calculation is independently reviewed and signed off by our qualified engineer before issue.
Final documents are issued ready for your building control submission, contractor, or party wall process.
