Domestic Properties

We offer a variety of services to owners of residential properties, developers and building contractors. Including design and detailing of all structural elements within a building fabric, investigations into foundation types and liaison with Local Authority or Building Control to obtain statutory approvals.

Structural Engineers Report

Alternatively, you may require a report on a particular structural problem that has become of concern.

The inspection is carried out by a Chartered Engineer who will provide a report based on a visual examination of the building fabric for evidence of structural problems. The problem will be discussed and the likely cause identified. Recommendations will be put forward for either remedial work or further investigations. Some of the items such a report would cover include:

Subsidence
Cracking
Roof problems
Movement
Settlement
Bulging walls
Underpinning
Tie bars
Strengthening

Alternatively, you may require a more in-depth survey in which case a survey undertaken by one of our Building Surveyors would be more appropriate.

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.

We really like the multi-disciplined approach that Canham Consulting offer. Their engineers have an excellent understanding of engineering matters and they offer a very collaborative and attentive approach.

Hugh French
Pigeon Investment Management Limited

Having worked in partnership with Canham Consulting over the past ten years on many varied projects we have found the company and their staff members to be trustworthy and helpful and would not hesitate to recommend them to any potential enquirer. Canham Consulting have become our preferred choice of structural and civil engineers.

Ian Mutton (Managing Director)
SMG Architects Ltd

We have worked with Canham Consulting over the past ten years, their approach to structural problems has been creative and their service prompt and professional.

Much of our work involves contemporary insertions into listed buildings and Canham Consulting are sensitive to traditional structures while being appreciative of a contemporary approach to design.

Canham Consulting offer an approachable service, a dialogue to discuss possibilities to enable concepts to come to fruition stretching the building and structural innovation to deadlines and mindful of client budget.

Stephen Tring
McArthur Tring Architects

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.

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

Matt Saunders (Managing Director)
BMC East Limited

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.
