Engineering

We offer a range of engineering services, to support a variety of building projects, from renovating and extending residential properties to realising large commercial ventures.

Our engineers can work as part of our complete design turn key service, or can be hired separately to support you with your project as required.

Structural Engineers

Our chartered structural engineers are MIStructE registered, one of the most respected marks of competence in the structural engineering profession.

‘Our structural engineering solutions are functional and creative, bringing architectural visions to life while maintaining the structural integrity of your building.’

Our Expertise

We have experts in steel, concrete and timber design to Euro-codes and British Standards, as well as site investigation, groundworks and construction practice.

We comply with Part A (Structural Safety) of the Building Regulations, and work with you to ensure the whole process is cost effective.

Working on projects as part of the Construction Associates team brings many benefits, including streamlined communication and a shared common goal from the outset. We can achieve both cost and time savings through these efficiencies.

Civil Engineers

Our civil engineers are experts in all highway and transport matters. We produce underground drainage design, flood risk assessments and transport statements.

Our civil engineers support you on projects where:

  • You’re looking to add new buildings to a property
  • You’re planning to subdivide your land
  • You want to both subdivide and develop your property
  • Drainage issues potentially exist on your property
  • There are erosion issues affecting your property
  • Your property is close to a body of water
  • The local authority recommends you use an engineer
  • You need to replace an engineer on your project

Our support is essential on projects to create sustainable designs that adapt to current climate conditions and changing environmental regulations.

We can provide designs and reports for planning approvals, technical building regulations and construction, dealing with highway and water authorities directly.

Building Services Engineers (M&E)

Our mechanical and electrical engineers can design all the building services required for your commercial or high-end residential construction project.

We deliver innovative solutions for lighting, heating, air conditioning and fire alarm systems, and incorporate them into building designs right from the planning stage.

We specialise in the design, install and maintenance of the systems that make buildings enjoyable, comfortable, safe, and functional.

Adding Value Through Teamwork

As part of the Construction Associates integrated team, working closely with our clients, architects and interior designers, our engineers are more easily able to provide seamless, cost-effective solutions to any given plan.

Our expert engineers are also available to work with you on your own project, as the need arises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does a structural engineer fit into the building design process?
  • Client briefs the project and vision.
  • The architect creates designs to ensure they capture the client’s requirements and desires.
  • The structural engineer uses the architectural design to provide the most optimal structural system for the loading and proposed shape of the building.
  • A full set of drawings is produced by the architect and the engineer.
  • The plans go out to contractors for pricing.
  • Contractors are selected based on relevant experience and value for money
  • The contractors use the drawings as their guides

Civil engineers design and maintain structures like public and private buildings, as well as water systems, airports and roads.

Structural engineers analyse, design, build and maintain the individual structures and materials that counteract or reinforce loads.

Using their theoretical and practical knowledge, civil engineers are responsible for planning, budgeting, managing and analysing anything from small housing projects to large scale high-rise buildings and associated infrastructure.

M&E engineers also know as building services engineers, take care of the mechanical and electrical systems within a building. Depending on their specialty, M&E engineers can be involved in anything mechanical or electrical, from heating and ventilation systems to fire alarms, emergency lighting, plant and machinery, telecommunications, electrical equipment and control systems.

Working together, architects and engineers can come up with design solutions that are greater than the sum of their parts. Exchanging knowledge and information, especially at the early stages of a project, ultimately leads to better buildings.
