What we are
engaged to do
Most clients come to us for one discipline and stay for the set. Below is what each engagement covers, what you receive at the end of it, and how the fee is usually structured.

Civil & structural engineering
We size the things that hold the building up and take the water away. Every element is analysed against the loads it will actually see, and every drawing is issued with a revision number that survives a site argument.
Electrical engineering
Load schedule first, equipment second. We design distribution you can add to later, protection that discriminates properly, and documentation the inspector can follow without a phone call.
Architectural design
A concept is only good if it can be approved, costed and built. We design against the budget from the first sketch, and we draw the awkward junctions rather than leaving them to the site.
Construction & supervision
Design is half the job. We price the work, help you choose a contractor on more than the lowest number, and turn up on site often enough that problems are caught while they are still cheap.
Three ways to bring us in
Design only
We produce the drawings and calculations; you or your contractor takes it from there.
Design + supervision
We design it, then stay on to make sure it is built the way it was drawn.
Design & build
One contract, one accountable party, one price for the finished building.
