FAQ

Got questions? We've got answers.

We provide structural engineering and precast concrete design services to engineering and architectural firms, covering everything from concept design through to fabrication-ready drawings.
Precast concrete is manufactured off-site under controlled conditions, which can mean higher quality, faster programmes, and reduced waste on site. We design precast walls, stairs, columns, lift shafts and bespoke structures, including hidden and telescopic connection details.
We model in Autodesk Revit and Tekla Structures, and design structures in accordance with EN, BS and Irish national standards.
We work as a design partner to engineering and architectural firms, providing structural and precast design support as an extension of your team.
Our team is based in Ireland, with projects delivered across Dublin, Kildare and Limerick, and our company registered in London, United Kingdom. We're happy to discuss projects across both Ireland and the UK.
Timelines depend on project scope and complexity. Get in touch with your project details and we'll come back to you with a realistic programme.
