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.

Thanks again for the in-depth report. Will certainly recommend Canham Consulting. Very please with the service and your quick turn around.

We have worked with Canham Consulting for a number of years on a complex scheme, which has thrown up a number of challenges in terms of drainage engineering, flood relief and fuel storage solutions. Our Consultant is contactable, commercial, and realistic and his team have risen to the challenges to produce honest solutions to some difficult problems. We are impressed with the work and with the support that has been given to us as clients and would most definitely be utilising their service again in the future where the need arises.

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.

As innovative developers we have always found Canham Consulting to be ready to embrace and support any new ideas that we throw at them. They worked with us to develop the idea with a sound and sensible knowledge base together with a practical approach.

When we developed and patented a new Passivhaus building system, Canham were engaged with us at the beginning with practical technical advice and encouragement. We have had and hopefully will continue to enjoy a valuable working relationship with them.

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 Canhams are sensitive to traditional structures while being appreciative of a contemporary approach to design.

Canhams 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.
