STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

BE Design offer a holistic approach to structural engineering design with sustainable low carbon considerations forming the core of our design solutions. We have a team of chartered engineers and members of IStructE and ICE who are passionate about minimising embodied carbon and eliminating waste whilst delivering robust and cost-effective solutions. They are complemented by a team of dynamic BIM technicians who are experienced in 3D modelling and producing comprehensive design drawings using the latest CAD software such as Revit and AutoCAD.

Our team of structural engineers have extensive experience in sectors ranging from logistics, manufacturing, retail, leisure, education to residential developments. We are agile with our creative solutions in overcoming complex design challenges for new-build, refurbishment and extension schemes. Our diversified team believes in the necessity of close collaboration with the wider consultants and contractor team to achieve the client’s aspirations without compromising commercial, operational and most importantly environmental goals.

Our core structural services include structural design of steel, concrete, timber and masonry, peer review, value engineering, structural surveys, building alterations, value engineering and 3D visualisation. We have established an outstanding track record delivering exceptional results in varying stages of built environment projects from site acquisition due diligence assessment, to concept design, to coordinated planning submission, through to construction and operation.

With our holistic approach to sustainable design, we always seek out opportunities to reuse existing materials where feasible or incorporate low carbon recycled materials into our design specifications. We work closely with our internal sustainability consultants who are proficient in embodied carbon and energy assessment tools, taking into account the whole life-cycle of the building and advising on opportunities to reduce embodied carbon and construction waste.
