Say goodbye to long construction times, high costs, and low-quality buildings. With Symmtrex light steel framing system, any commercial or residential structure with fewer than five floors can be constructed faster, to a higher standard, and more cost-effectively. #Symmtrex #LightSteelFraming #FasterConstruction #HigherStandard #CostEffective

Residential Extension Case Study 🧐 Our team of Structural Engineers are investigators and problem solvers all rolled into one 😀.  Here is just one example of how we used innovative structural engineering solutions to help our clients achieve their vision... THE BRIEF: We developed a rear ground floor extension for a period semi-detached property. This included the design of the building’s foundations, steel beams, masonry walls, and a new rear extension. THE CHALLENGES: The main challenge of the project was to manage ‘right to light’ conditions which impacted on the height of the extension. Side walls were required that fit flush with a party-wall boundary which also added to the complexity of the foundations. THE SOLUTION: We provided a raft foundation to act as ground floor slab and wall foundations. This enabled walls to be built right up to the party line boundary as required, utilising all available space. The innovative use of a ‘cranked beam’ meant that only a small section of the extension’s height was reduced.

Building sites can be full of surprises, some strange, some downright scary.😧  On this occasion, the builders were on site stripping a building for remodelling works. Hidden above the ceiling boards they found an unsupported chimney. Nobody knew how long this chimney had been unsupported but understandably the builders were in a panic and did not want to be the reason something collapsed on site. So, they called us to help out with a beam design that could support this chimney. 🏠 Fortunately, because we had been involved in the design of the remodelling work, we knew the building well. We were able to turn around a design for them within one working day and the beams we specified were stock sizes that could be picked up at a builder’s merchant and installed the very next day.😅  Our work keeps things interesting, to say the least. Maybe one day we'll even write a book 😂 If you find something unexpected on-site and you need a structural engineer to urgently assess it without affecting your planned timelines, get in touch.

Precast concrete parts are commonly used in construction for various applications, including building components like walls, beams, columns, and architectural elements. Precast concrete offers advantages such as quality control, faster construction, and durability. 🏗 #constructionembeddedparts #buildingembeddedcomponents #precastconcreteparts #precastconcreteaccessories #concreteaccessories #constructionaccessories #anchorchannel #precastanchorchannel #castinchannel #precastconcrete #liftinganchorsystem

You may be familiar with the advantages of precast concrete, but how do they translate into benefits for a new parking garage? Whether you’re looking for a mixed-use space or a stand-alone structure, precast concrete can help you become more efficient, safe, and cost-effective.
