I've worked privately offering various architectural services outside of my day-to-day job for a number of years now. In the last few years I've worked with Elias to produce structural drawings, calculations and construction notes for multiple building control applications. Elias has always been very easy to work with and is yet to let me down on price or turnaround. I've also never had any issued gaining the required approval. Hopefully we can continue to work together in the future. More...

I asked Elias to design a re-inforced concrete raft foundation for a single storey side extension, his work was exemplary. The service provided was quick and very accurate. The design drawings were very easy for my site operatives to follow and the local council building engineers validated all calculations. I would highly recommend Elias to anyone and look forward to working with him again sometime in 2025. More...

Always disappointing when you book a call and change your plans to wait in to receive it and it doesn’t come
Reply from Elias Design consultant
Hi Carol , sorry you were dissappointed for not getting call from our end, this is new system introduced by bark and we have informed them it costing us and the client money so we can not provide call back service but they are working on it arrange how it would ideal work for both parties , as you can understand we give service as structural engineer but we special deal with structural drawing and calculations and design not report and we can only give service to limit customers. Hope they will sort this option soon we have informed them and left them feedback . we wish you all the best with your project

Ian
Structural Engineer
Discovered major flaws in the structural design and calculations of the previous plans by building control for a rear extension. The previous structural engineer through the architect simply didn't respond to the queries. I had to rectify this ASAP as the build schedule is tight. I contacted Tefade Elias and he replied immediately and gave advice. We explored the options and found a solution that is safest and most cost effective; because its a sizeable extension instead of the usual RSJ on pad stones which wouldn't hold in this case due to the risk of racking, Tefade designed a picture frame RSJ structure to spread the load which mitigated this risk without the need to alter existing foundation! This saves not only time but also cost. What I am most impressed with is the response time. Always contactable by email, replies same day, all query answered and of course the plans were approved by building control. His work is detailed and gives you solid confidence. All the good reviews here are justified. Thank you Tefade for your work. More...

I needed a structural engineer to specify precisely how beams should be installed to meet water board reqirements for building over a sewer pipe. He gathered all the information with one visit and produced diagrams showing where beams should be positioned and the calculations to make sure they were sufficiently strong. More...

Paul
Structural Engineer
My partner & I met with Elias to discuss issues in respect to having a new kitchen extension built earlier this year.
He was very professional and polite and always contactable throughout our entire journey.
He made the process working with the council much more relaxing and knew exactly what they would expect from us, which was a big help.
He has vast knowledge and many great ideas of which we are very grateful.
He gave us 100% effort and made it less stressful during the building months.
We would definitely recommend the company/Elias to anyone who needs a structural engineer who makes things simple and less complicated.

Graham Burr
We contacted Elias following a dispute with the builder who had left us with a half complete building with no structural engineers calculations and no building control. Elias was very reassuring and produced excellent drawings and plans which passed planning first time as well as conforming correctly that the structure was sound. He refused to take any money until we had obtained full building control for the structure. Overall he helped a t very difficult time and i would thoroughly recommend him More...
