CONSTRUCTIVE

What the service covers

Audit of the structural design

We check the analysis models, the loads assumed and whether the design matches the conditions on the ground.

Review of safety margins

We identify oversized sections, surplus reinforcement and safety factors nothing justifies.

Alternative structural systems

We compare in-situ, precast and hybrid frames on cost and on programme.

Recalculation

We re-run the analysis on the revised models and record the result in the documentation.

Savings report

A list of the changes, each costed in materials and in money.

How it runs

  1. Handover of the documents

    We receive the existing set and the site data for the building.

  2. Audit

    We check the calculations and draw up a list of where there is room to optimise.

  3. Options

    We set out several scenarios, each trading savings against how much has to be redrawn.

  4. Recalculation and revision

    The agreed scenario goes into the calculations and the drawings.

  5. Revised set

    We hand back the revised documentation, ready to be worked from.

Why it pays

Savings without losing reliability

We cut material use within the codes – the margin stays where the calculation says it is needed.

Decided before work starts

A change on paper costs a fraction of rebuilding a structure that already stands.

Reasoning you can follow

Every revision comes with a calculation behind it, not a general statement.
