From initial project enquiry to the delivery of construction drawings and details, we carefully consider the specific requirements of each project and the range of solutions available to deliver the project objectives.
From retaining structures and external works to complex drainage strategies, we provide practical, quality civil engineering advice to support your project from concept to completion.
Why You Need a Civil Engineer
Civil engineering is the backbone of any construction project. Whether you’re developing land, creating new infrastructure, or upgrading existing facilities, engaging a professional at an early stage will provide valuable direction in relation to these essential parts of a development.
Flooding is an issue never far from the public awareness, and even for small, simple property developments, Local Authorities will likely require a comprehensive Drainage Strategy at the planning stage. Without a specific plan for managing surface water and flood risk, your planning application might face significant delays or rejection.
By getting us involved early, we can inform the design and development process and produce the necessary strategies, calculations, and details to support your planning application and help smooth the path to permission.
Our team finds pragmatic and innovative ways for the natural and built environment to work together, helping you avoid delays, reduce risk, and achieve desired results.

If the wall is load-bearing, local building control requires structural calculations for the supporting steel beam (RSJ) to ensure safety and compliance.
We can arrange site visits across Bournemouth, Poole, and wider Dorset within 48 to 72 hours of inquiry.
