Structural Engineer in Chatham

DVC Engineering provides structural engineering services to homeowners and contractors in Chatham and the wider Medway area. We deliver structural calculations, drawings, and building control packages for residential and commercial projects.

Local Knowledge

Chatham is one of the Medway towns and has a housing stock predominantly comprising Victorian terraces and inter-war semis, reflecting the expansion of the town during the naval dockyard era. The terraced streets of the town centre and Luton are densely built and popular for loft conversions and open-plan alterations. The dockyard redevelopment has brought new residential units in converted historic naval buildings, which present unique structural challenges.

The Medway valley chalk and river alluvium geology creates variable ground conditions across the town. Slope stability is a consideration in some of the steeper residential streets to the south of the town centre. We are familiar with Medway Council's Building Control requirements and produce complete submission packages.

We serve Chatham and the wider Medway area including Luton, Walderslade, Lordswood, and Princes Park.
