Expert Structural Solutions for Safe, Compliant, and Long-Lasting Buildings
Our structural design services provide detailed engineering solutions for repairs and improvements to high-rise residential buildings. Whether part of general building improvement programmes or remedial works to rectify fire defects, our designs ensure that structures are safe, compliant, and optimised for long-term performance.
We deliver calculation-led designs, technical drawings, and practical guidance that integrate fire safety, regulatory compliance, and durability, supporting landlords, councils, and housing associations in maintaining high-rise housing stock safely and efficiently.
What Is Structural Design for Repairs & Improvements?
Structural design for high-rise blocks involves creating safe, evidence-based solutions to maintain or enhance the integrity of a building’s framework. This can include:
- Repairing damaged or deteriorated structural elements such as beams, columns, floors, and walls
- Reinforcing or upgrading structures to meet current building regulations and fire safety standards
- Supporting remediation of fire defects or hazardous cladding issues
- Designing refurbishment or retrofit improvements that enhance performance and longevity
- Producing detailed drawings, specifications, and engineering calculations for contractor implementation
Our designs ensure that all structural works are safe, practical, and fully compliant with regulatory guidance.
Why Structural Design Matters
High-rise buildings face unique challenges due to their height, complexity, and reliance on key structural components. Professional structural design ensures that repairs and improvements:
- Address underlying defects safely and effectively
- Comply with building regulations, fire safety guidance, and Building Safety Case requirements
- Protect residents and maintain the integrity of the building
- Support long-term maintenance, refurbishment, and lifecycle planning
- Minimise risk of future structural or fire-related failures
Well-designed structural interventions help landlords manage risk, reduce costly remedial works, and extend the life of high-rise housing stock.
Our Approach to Structural Design
We follow a structured methodology to deliver robust, evidence-based structural solutions:
- Assessment & Inspection – review of building condition, previous surveys, fire defects, and potential structural issues.
- Calculations & Analysis – engineering calculations to determine loads, stresses, and reinforcement requirements.
- Design & Drawings – preparation of detailed drawings, specifications, and method statements for construction.
- Compliance & Review – design aligned with current building regulations, fire safety standards, and Building Safety Case expectations.
- Implementation Support – guidance during construction, coordination with contractors, and oversight to ensure design intent is delivered.
This ensures structural works are safe, practical, and fully implementable in high-rise buildings.
