Structural engineers in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland ranges from the dense Victorian brick terraces and shipyard-era housing of Belfast, through the market towns and stone-built property of counties Armagh, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Down, Antrim and Londonderry, to modern estates and rural farmhouses across the countryside. Much of the older stock is solid brick or rubble stone with shallow foundations and slate roofs, while suburban Belfast, Lisburn and Derry carry post-war and modern cavity-wall housing. Each type raises its own structural questions, from removing a chimney breast in a Belfast terrace to extending a rendered farmhouse where the existing walls carry the roof and floor loads.

We provide the full structural remit for projects across Northern Ireland: Eurocode calculations and drawings for extensions, loft conversions, wall removals and new openings, structural surveys and defect reports, and design for new build and commercial work. Desktop calculations and reports are delivered anywhere in the province, and where a survey or inspection is needed we arrange attendance across the country, from Greater Belfast to Newry, Enniskillen and the north west around Londonderry.

Most structural work is done from your drawings, photographs and survey information, so being a service-area practice is rarely an obstacle for clients in Northern Ireland. We turn desktop calculations and reports around quickly and coordinate with your architect, builder and the local Building Control department so the structure and the design agree before work is priced on site.

Where a physical inspection is needed, for a survey, a movement assessment or a check of existing structure, we arrange a visit across Northern Ireland. Every output is tied to the Eurocodes and the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) technical guidance and backed by professional indemnity cover, and the same standards let us support clients across the rest of the UK.
