Services

Our team of engineers always remain mindful of our clients’ aspirations. We believe that understanding our clients’ needs is fundamental to offering pragmatic engineering solutions that deliver best value, sustainable and efficient projects. We also understand the importance of producing aesthetically pleasing design solutions that accord with Architects’ and clients’ objectives and requirements. We apply expert knowledge and vast experience to add value across a broad range of civil and structural engineering sectors.

We enjoy working with many of our clients from the initial concept design stages of their projects through to completion, alteration, further development, and the decommissioning phase in some instances. However, we are also mindful that sometimes our specialist services are only required for a small element of a project, and we are happy to work with clients on this basis too, providing a tailored service to suit our clients specific needs and budget.

We recognise the importance of our early involvement in projects to obtain the maximum benefit for our clients and project stakeholders.

We provide services to a wide range of clients, including domestic clients, developers, builders and civil engineering contractors, industrial and commercial property owners, farmers, wind farm operators, power station operators, and local authorities.

We also provide specialist sub consultancy services to other industry professionals, such as Architects, Planning Consultants, and other specialists.

Structural Surveys & Investigations

Structural surveys, particularly of domestic properties, are sometimes mistakenly considered to be straightforward ‘easy’ engineering by some engineering consultants, and are therefore undertaken by junior members of staff . Nothing could be further from the truth. Observing defects is the simple part, but diagnosing the root cause(s) specific structural defects is where the knowledge and experience of a professionally qualified engineer is paramount.

All structural surveys are undertaken by Technicus Consulting are conducted by our qualified and experienced chartered engineers. Our engineers understand structural behaviour, can read structural movement patterns to determine the source of the defects or movement, and understand the many external factors that can lead to structural defects developing.

Here is a list of just some of the Structural Surveys & Investigations services we offer:

  • Assessment of Vehicle Impacted Structures
  • Assessment of Fire Damaged Structures
  • Concrete Condition Surveys & Investigations
  • Construction Defect Investigations
  • Defect Investigations / Building Pathology
  • Due Diligence Reports
  • Feasibility Studies for Proposed Structural Alterations to Existing Buildings / Structures
  • Fire Escape Safety Inspections & Reports
  • Forensic Engineering Investigations
  • Pre-purchase Peace-of-mind Structural Surveys for Domestic & Commercial Properties
  • Pre-works Condition Surveys & Reports
  • Schedules of Condition
  • Structural Movement Investigations
  • Structural Surveys & Reports
  • Party Wall Surveyor Services

Our services and reports are always tailored to suit the specific needs of our clients, from prospective purchaser of a domestic property to a Principal Contractor undertaking a large civil engineering project close to privately owned properties.

Our reports typically provide an overview of the structural condition of the building or structure being surveyed, comments and opinion on the observed condition of specific defective elements, guidance on recommended further investigations and next steps (if necessary) and outline remedial works advice (if required).

Refer to our ‘Projects’ page where you can see case studies on some of our previously completed projects.

I am a small local Building Company that works on refurbishing clients properties, I have worked with many structural engineers throughout my working career. My first project working with the assistance of Technicus Consulting was October 2018. Barry Burgess was the design engineer for this project, which was on a old property that had lots of structural cracks to the internal and external masonry. Barry Burgess had designed a detailed schedule of works for me to work with, this allowed me to undertake the works for my client, which included installing Helibar with resin to the affected masonry areas. All repair works was completed as scheduled, l emailed Barry Burgess at Technicus Consulting with photos of the works in stages of repair which allowed Barry Burgess to see the works where being undertaken as per his design report. This was the start of a very good working relationship with all the staff at Technicus Consulting. I have since worked very closely with Kevin Buttle from Technicus Consulting on numerous project, from just a small project to take down a internal wall for a client, to refurbishing a complete property which required major works to undertaking structural repairs to a commercial buildings. Technicus Consulting has the ability to be able to offer small building companies like my self and clients a very personal and professional service from start to finish. I also work very closely with the Building Control Team at East Suffolk LABC, as with any structural alteration to a property, they require structural calculation and a design report, so that they know that all works are being undertake correctly, this is when you mention that your have engaged Technicus Consulting to come up with a design report for the project, the Building Control Team at East Suffolk LABC have worked very closely with Tecnicus consulting and know that they will deliver a first class service. I would not hesitate in recommending Technicus Consulting to my clients From Steven Elphick Elphick Buildings Ltd LABC Reginal Winner Best Local Builder 2019

instauro ltd engaged Technicus Consulting when detailed concrete floor loading calculations were required. The process was quick and the professional advice provided, along with detailed calculations supplied enabled us to proceed with confidence. We wouldn't hesitate to engage Technicus Consulting if further work is required. A big thank you from instauro ltd.

Recently had a Full Structural Survey on my new residence due to a concern in cracking; Technicus were very helpful and diligent to my needs, they were very quick in surveying the property and issued with full report within 1 week of instruction. I used Techincus for this service as I have previously used their services and they are my go to company for any building or structural works (and will be using again in the very near future)
