New build structural engineering

From concept to construction, we design clear, buildable structures for new developments – bringing to life the architecture with engineering design shaped around ground conditions, the programme, site constraints and the way your team wants to build.

Designed from first principles 

New build gives you more freedom – and more choices that can affect cost, risk and build sequence. On greenfield sites, the work often starts with foundations and ground conditions. On brownfield sites, previous use can shape what’s possible below ground and how the structure is set out.

We support teams through the full journey, from early options and coordinated concept design to detailed design and construction-stage queries. The aim is simple: a structure that works on paper, works on site, and stays aligned with the wider scheme as it develops.

How we support your project 

1. Early options and constraints

We review the brief, layout and site information, then help compare structural approaches so the team can settle key decisions early.

2. Foundation and ground strategy

We develop foundation options that suit the ground and the build sequence, flagging risks early so design and cost planning can move with confidence.

3. Concept structural design

We set out a clear structural scheme and coordinate it with the architectural intent, services routes and buildability requirements.

4. Detailed design and information

We produce coordinated calculations, drawings and BIM models that support approvals, procurement and a smooth start on site.

5. Construction-stage support

We stay engaged through construction, responding to queries and helping resolve changes without losing sight of performance and intent.

Buildable, coordinated solutions 

New build moves quickly when the structure is simple to set out, straightforward to build, and properly coordinated with the wider design. We focus on practical decisions early, clear information for delivery, and responsive support when site conditions or sequencing change.

What you can expect:

  • Early clarity on structural options and foundations
  • Clear, coordinated drawings and details for construction
  • Ongoing support to keep the build moving

Related services 

Many new build projects benefit from joined-up structural and civil input, especially where levels, drainage and access need to lock in early. If you’re planning a larger housing site, we can also support repeatable house types and site-wide structures.
