Structural Design Howard Ruse Associates has a record of providing structural consultancy to architects/developers/property owners varying in project size from domestic dwellings to office / retail and public works. The practice has experience of managing difficult working environments such as care homes, offices and similar buildings during peak occupancy and successfully achieving construction with minimum disruption.
When an appraisal and advice upon the implications of a proposed structural alteration or change of use is required, this will involve the careful visual inspection of the building and appraisal of the proposed works. Occasionally it may be necessary to open-up the construction to confirm structural details, to verify material strength or load-bearing capacity and to avoid a delay to the works.
We have expertise of foundation design for structures on difficult ground or with special design requirements, including the implications for adjacent buildings and structures. The design of underpinning or other foundation stabilisation or improvement works are part of the expert comprehensive design service we provide for subsidence damaged or potentially unstable buildings or to facilitate the development of below-ground accommodation.
"We have been very happy with the service we received and would like to thank you for all your help and courtesy" Mr and Mrs Scott, Eltham.
