Structural Engineer in Manchester

Manchester's building stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to former industrial and commercial buildings, post-war development and contemporary apartments. Structural commissions commonly involve wall removals, extensions, loft conversions, change-of-use projects, façade and roof alterations, structural surveys and the refurbishment of existing masonry and steel-framed buildings.

Previously developed urban sites can contain made ground, buried structures and variable foundation conditions. We assess the available records and site evidence, then specify trial pits or ground investigation where required. Foundation, retaining wall and drainage designs are coordinated to manage the identified site constraints rather than relying on generic assumptions.

For city-centre and occupied commercial sites, construction sequencing, access and temporary stability can be as important as the permanent design. We provide buildable structural details and temporary works input, and we respond directly to Building Control and contractor queries as the project progresses.
