Building Dynamics

Canham Consulting have been proactive for some time, investing in some of the most intelligent and innovative modelling and visualisation software available. We can now produce photorealistic renderings and conceptual walkthroughs that really do help to bring a project to life.

Our Building Dynamics service presents data in several ways; through Point Cloud Surveys, 2D CAD output, 3D Revit model, intelligent building analysis and as a drone survey, all of which provide you with a result that suits your requirements.

These images and walkthroughs can assist at all stages of a project from satisfying planning constraints to construction phase planning. For new developments and alterations to existing buildings, we can generate models from design information to complement the existing data that we will collect on site. By using this workflow, time and money can be saved together with increased accuracy and efficiencies.

Our unique offering is what we can do with the modelling information once it has been completed. Canham Consulting can provide intelligent building analysis which collaborates with the survey data, utilising our team of highly capable Engineers. This allows us to provide a service which has the building model presented visually, together with a true behavioural study reflecting the way the building will perform during service.

We always endeavour to stand out from the rest, and with the skills of our dedicated Visualisation Specialists who can create bespoke model components and 3D textures, we can do just that.

This technology can be useful in many different scenarios, which could include traffic planning with site flyovers, project phasing, project marketing and architectural views.

Our Building Dynamics service can provide valuable specialist contribution to every member of the Project team and is highly applicable to projects of all scales and complexity.

In addition to the examples above, we consider ourselves adept at challenging projects, and would welcome new and innovative schemes for us to test our skills! Should any of our services be of interest, please contact us via any of the methods available on our Contact Us page.

As architectural designers and planning consultants, we are often thinking outside the box when it comes to design, and often there comes a time when we require the help of a structural engineer to make our vision a reality.

It is very important to both us and our clients that we can work closely with an engineer to find a no-nonsense and practical solution to solving structural problems and that’s where our long term relationship with Canham’s hits the mark every time.

Time and time again, they have proved to be fast and reliable, and their refreshing pragmatic approach to problem solving always helps to keep our projects moving forwards with as little fuss as possible.

I am a sole practitioner architect in Norwich with over thirty years experience, the last fifteen of which have been spent running my own Practice, with a speciality in historic building work.

I have worked with Canham Consulting regularly over the last twenty years and they now provide structural advice on all my projects. During this time they have always provided an excellent engineering consultancy service. I have worked with various members of their team, and the service I have received has been and is exemplary. The scale of my work is relatively small, but they have always responded quickly and have the ability to contribute positively to a design at all stages. In addition they have always been a pleasure to work with and their friendly approach runs right through the Practice

Breheny Civil Engineering have worked successfully with Canham Consulting on several projects. Most recently in Cambridge at the Addenbrookes Campus where Canham’s designed a pedestrian bridge foundation, terrace foundations and infrastructure design. We have also worked together on a project in Great Yarmouth where HCV routes and access design was carried out.

We are happy with the service that Canham Consulting has provided for us and look forward to working with them again.

We have worked with Canham Consulting on various projects over the past ten years and have always been impressed with all of the services offered.

We have found their ‘on-site’ design advice especially invaluable to us as we take apart old and often complex buildings. The last thing we need is a crew of tradesmen waiting around for design advice when we find an unexpected ‘something’ on site.

Canhams haven’t let us down and that not only impresses us, but also keeps our client entirely satisfied. Keep up the good work.
