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.

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.

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.

At first we wondered why we needed the services of Canham Consulting to oversee our rebuild but very quickly we realised how much pressure and worry they took away from us. To have builders, contractors, electricians, plumbers etc, etc, managed in a professional manner, making sure that jobs were completed how WE wanted them doing and at the same time keeping a check on all the costings was such a huge relief.

Professional company who take care to look after their client’s interests. Well worth their fee.
