Architects, Engineers, Surveyors & Builders Under One Roof.
Surveyor-led refurbishment advice via Hampstead Chartered Surveyors →One Studio. One Contract. One Team.
We deliver Pimlico structural engineering with architects, engineers, surveyors and builders under one fixed-price contract - design, technical coordination, procurement, directly managed site teams, Building Control, programme control and final handover through one accountable team.
Structural engineering is the discipline that decides whether a wall can come out, how a new storey is carried and what keeps a basement dry and standing. Because our chartered structural engineers work in the same studio as our architects, the structure is resolved while the layout is still being drawn — not retro-fitted to a finished design. Typical commissions include the work below.
Six stages from first enquiry to a structure signed off on site, whether we engineer alone or design and build the whole scheme.

Every structural alteration must satisfy Part A of the Building Regulations, and building control will not sign the work off without calculations that prove the new load paths — which is why we produce a complete, checkable package rather than a beam size scribbled on a quote. Where a new steel bears on a wall you share with a neighbour, party wall notice is normally required before installation. Our planning guide library explains the approval routes in your borough.
Most renovation firms buy their engineering in from external consultancies; we keep it in the building. Our own chartered structural engineers sit alongside our in-house RIBA Chartered Architects, so structure and design are agreed in the same meeting rather than posted between offices, and RICS surveying support is available through our sister company, Hampstead Chartered Surveyors, when party wall or condition questions arise. The practice carries £10M public liability cover, works on fixed prices rather than open-ended fees, and stands behind built work with a 12-month defects period and a 10-year workmanship warranty. Enquire before 2pm on a weekday and we will call you back the same day.
