Over the years, many existing buildings and structures have become no longer suitable for their original use, either through lack of maintenance, poor design, or for several other reasons. We have considerable experience in the refurbishment of existing buildings to meet current standards. Familiar with both new and old construction techniques and utilising appropriate refurbishment methods, we have the capability to complete your requirements.

Building Assessments for Remedial Measures

Where appropriate, our structural engineers will create reports which will include advice and design with regards to change of use.

As a crucial aspect of appropriate and economic design of such projects, it is important to conduct careful inspection and appraisal of the existing building and proposed future use. This should include testing and inspection for material and timber decay, infestation, dampness and durability.

Design should encompass measures to remedy current defects, strengthen the building as necessary for its proposed use and to encourage longevity with appropriate maintenance levels and procedures. These measures will typically include attention to the structural frame with strengthening and repair as necessary, control of dampness (from the ground, roof or enclosures), condensation, corrosion of steel, concrete and material defects, building drainage and services and fire precautions.

All such refurbishment and remedial schemes should be carried out in close liaison with the statutory authorities, obtaining all required planning, listed and historic building consents, for which our structural engineers can make application on behalf of our clients.
