Structural Engineering
At the core of our service offering is deep expertise in the built environment. We specialise in the structural design and analysis of diverse projects, working skilfully with materials such as steelwork, reinforced concrete, timber, and masonry.
Our capabilities range from standard building designs to specialist works such as Tower Crane foundation design. Beyond new builds, we actively help preserve existing assets. By assessing structures and designing targeted adaptations, we aim to extend the life of your building and offer a sustainable alternative to demolition.
Civil & Drainage Engineering
In addition to our structural work, we offer specialised infrastructure services to facilitate seamless site development. Our capabilities extend to highways and drainage strategy, design, flood risk assessments, and external works.
Crucially, we support clients through the planning phase, providing the necessary drainage strategies and calculations required by Local Authorities. By integrating advanced analysis with technical expertise, we help our clients navigate the challenges of modern construction while maintaining a clear focus on safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

What Our Clients Say
We’re proud to work with a wide range of clients across projects. With over 50 years experience in structural and civil engineering you can count on us to deliver exactly what you need.
“McCarthy & Stone have collaborated with GGP on multiple projects over the past 30 years.They’re approachable, honest, and provide high-quality information, while keeping pace with often tight schedules.
I’m very much looking forward to working with GGP and their team moving forward on current and future projects across the region.”
We purchased our duplex apartment in 2011. It was originally structurally designed by Graham Garner Partners.
“To future proof our apartment, we are now planning the installation of a private internal lift and were very glad that GGP had retained the original drawings. Using GGP has helped us to provide assurance and confidence to our neighbours. Retro-fitting a lift is not easy.
GGP has helped us enormously in assessing the correct size, height, and weight in preparation for installation compliant with necessary building regulation and legislation.
GGP have been extremely responsive and helpful in dealing with the complexities of the matter as it was far from the largest project for GGP. We are very grateful and confident in the services provided by GGP.”
“We have generally found Graham Garner and Partners to offer effective and timely assistance as part of our project teams, engaging proactively and collaboratively towards cost effective and compliant endings. We value their services highly.
Personally, I have worked with GGP for over 20 years and find myself returning to them again and again, in the knowledge they have the expertise and capacity to get things done.”
“Having worked with GGP over that last 16 years or so on various projects, all the team at GGP have the same ‘can-do’ ethos followed up with a high quality & professional service.
We have thrown some challenges at them over the years and they have always provided us with workable and practical solutions in terms of structural engineering or complex drainage design.
They are all very approachable, don’t ‘blind you with science’ and are exceptionally good value.”
“McCarthy Stone has partnered with Graham Garner and Partners for over 20 years now, relying on their engineering expertise to help deliver high quality retirement apartment buildings across the South of the UK. Their efficient and collaborative approach has consistently ensured our projects meet the demanding build programme. We value their responsiveness and professionalism, always providing timely support whenever additional assistance is required.”
“I’ve been working with Graham Garner and Partners for over 25 years on increasingly complex and technical projects. Their professional and considered approach to all the challenges our projects and designs pose has seen our business portfolio grow. We are now the market leader in our field.
I have complete confidence in our structures and designs thanks to Graham Garners and can’t thank them enough for their help and patience over the years! I repeatedly recommended them to businesses and partners, and will continue to do so.”
“Graham Garner and Partners Ltd (GGP) was an important part of the Kier team on our project to transform Bournemouth and Poole College’s Lansdowne Campus. The upgraded campus will create bespoke teaching facilities for a range of courses, including catering, tourism and construction.
Alongside a new build, this project included the careful restoration of Grade II listed buildings. GGP provided invaluable expertise on the restoration work – advising on the structural engineering and associated heritage repairs. GGP provided a great service to our team – as a local firm, they were able to respond to queries at speed and visit site as needed.
Their input resulted in our team being able to accelerate the programme for this critical part of the project – a fantastic result.”
“We truly appreciate the exceptional service from GGP. The design work is always well thought out, detailed, professional and delivered on time. They explain structural issues in a way that is easy to understand, which significantly helps with our construction. A reliable team we’d recommend without hesitation.”
