Structural Engineer in Chichester

DVC Engineering provides structural engineering services to homeowners and professionals in Chichester and the surrounding West Sussex area. We work on the city's Roman-era historic buildings, Georgian townhouses, and rural farmhouses.

Local Knowledge

Chichester is one of England's finest Roman planned cities and has a remarkably intact medieval and Georgian city centre. Many properties within the city walls are listed, and structural alterations require coordination with Historic England and Chichester District Council's conservation team. The grid street pattern within the walls contains significant Georgian townhouses alongside medieval properties.

Beyond the city walls, Chichester's residential areas include Victorian terraces in the southern suburbs and inter-war semis in the outer areas. The Chichester Coastal Plain — the flat land between the city and the sea — has alluvial ground conditions with high water table, which must be considered for any new foundation design. The proximity to Chichester Harbour introduces tidal and coastal flood risk.

We cover Chichester, Selsey, Bognor Regis, Midhurst, and surrounding West Sussex areas.
