Our Approach

We combine technical expertise with a collaborative approach to deliver high-quality structural solutions. Here’s how we work:

1: Initial Consultation

We begin by understanding your project goals, requirements, and constraints.

We’ll review any existing documentation, such as architectural drawings or site surveys.

2: Conceptual Design

Our engineers develop initial design concepts, considering factors like materials, loads, structural efficiency and embodied carbon.

We work closely with architects, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure the design aligns with the overall project vision.

3: Detailed Calculations

Using advanced software tools such as Robot, Tedds, and Tekla Structural Designer, we perform precise calculations for all structural elements.

This ensures the design meets safety, performance, and regulatory requirements.

4: Final Design and Documentation

We provide detailed drawings, reports, and calculations for review and approval.

Our documentation is clear, accurate, and ready for submission to building control or other authorities.

5: Ongoing Support

We remain available throughout the project to address any queries or adapt the design as needed.

What is Structural Design?

Structural design is the process of creating a framework that ensures a building or structure can safely withstand all anticipated loads, including weight, weather, and usage. This involves detailed calculations and analysis to ensure every element – from foundations to beams and columns – is optimised for performance and safety.

I would recommend Michael aubrey structural engineers to colleagues and friends – the service was fantastic!”

— Michelle Vines, Junction Fabrication

“I have been working with Michael aubrey structural engineers for over 4 years now. Michael aubrey structural engineers always offer me good, prompt, structural advice. They help me to provide my customers with drawings for planning and building regulation approval and structural calculations. Michael aubrey structural engineers probably aren’t the cheapest, but they will do a good job and you always know that the drawings and details that are produced will work on site”.

— Simon Smith, S & D Builders, Reading

You are really good at what you do

“We had a project recently where we had a couple of questions and your engineer came back to us straight away and was happy to accommodate our changes.
The quality of information that you produced, and the level of detail is far superior to a lot of other structural engineers.
When I send things over to your team, you’ll have one hit at it, and I’ll get it back and it will be 99% as I anticipate.
You can spend a lot of time toing and froing with other engineers who just don’t give smaller projects as much consideration.
Working with you guys is saving me time because you are really good at what you do.
Information that you produce is very clear, some people send out sheets and sheets of generic information and specifications that aren’t applicable to certain projects. Everything you send out is relevant and very clear.  Your team are really responsive your fees are good value and the quality of service is excellent!"

— Carly Barrow, Director Greenway Barrow Architects
