How It Works

From enquiry to Building Control

Five clear steps — fast turnaround, engineer sign-off on every package.

  1. Enquiry & scope

    01

    Tell us about the project — a call or a few photos and drawings is usually enough for an indicative fee within 24 hours.

  2. Site visit or drawings review

    02

    We confirm existing structure, loads and constraints — in person for inspections, or remotely from architect's drawings.

  3. Calculations & drawings

    03

    Structural calculations and drawings are produced to a fast, confirmed turnaround on standard domestic packages.

  4. Sign-off & quality check

    04

    Every calculation is independently reviewed and signed off by our qualified engineer before issue.

  5. Delivery

    05

    Final documents are issued ready for your building control submission, contractor, or party wall process.

Why Vanguard

Engineering discipline,
quality discipline

01

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.

02

Major infrastructure experience

35 years in construction worldwide, 26 of them on UK programmes including Transport for London, Network Rail, Crossrail and HS2 — the same rigour, on every domestic project.
