Indies Structures

We work closely with the project architect to design the structural & civil engineering elements of new properties. We take a flexible approach to design undertaking initial feasibility design to advise on critical structural dimensions and assess alternative forms of construction. In the following scheme design stage we determine the size of all critical elements for coordination with the architecture and building services. This is then progressed through the detailed design leading to construction stage information and Building Regulation approval.

We have extensive experience of new build design within the domestic, education, health, commercial and retail sectors.

We provide structural surveys to domestic and commercial clients who wish to better understand the condition of the property they own or are looking to purchase. Surveys can be tailored to suit specific concerns, such are issues raised by a home buyers survey, or be general structural surveys considering all elements of the property.
​
Our experience of structural surveys includes the following:

Domestic properties

Reinforced and post tensioned concrete properties

Structural steelwork frames, cast & wrought iron structures

Timber framed properties (modern and historic)

Assessment of foundation settlement

Design consultation can take the form of initial advice on projects where design concepts are being established. We can also provide an independent opinion within project value engineering exercises assisting in the identification of cost saving alternatives and ways of adding value to each project.

Our advice always considers the health and safety during construction and operation which we consider is a fundamental to the successful design of any project.
