Structural Engineer in Harlow

Harlow is a post-war new town, planned in the late 1940s by Sir Frederick Gibberd. The housing stock is therefore predominantly post-war, with extensive areas of council and private housing from the 1950s through to the 1980s. The town is being regenerated and expanded with significant new residential development. Old Harlow has a historic village core with some older properties.

Post-war residential construction in Harlow ranges from traditional brick cavity wall construction to non-traditional systems including Airey houses, Cornish units, and other prefabricated types. These non-traditional construction methods have specific structural characteristics and limitations that affect what alterations and extensions are possible. We assess and advise on all types of residential construction.
