Structural & Specialty Work Process

1. Initial Consultation & Structural Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your property’s structural integrity, foundation condition, and risk factors. Our engineers assess load paths, soil bearing, and aging components to determine remediation strategies that balance safety, cost, and long-term performance. This phase yields a defined scope, budget guidance, and a realistic timeline.
2. Design & Remediation Planning

Using the findings, we design targeted structural solutions and remediation plans. This includes reinforcement strategies, underpinning options if required, and integration with existing systems. The focus is on practicality, code compliance, and minimizing disruption during upgrades.
3. Execution & Quality Assurance

We execute foundation repairs, load-bearing enhancements, and restoration tasks with precision. Our team emphasizes proper drainage, moisture management, vibration control, and adherence to specifications and local codes. Ongoing QA checks ensure durable results.
4. Restoration & Finishing

When fire, water, or mold affects your structure, we implement specialized restoration workflows, including drying, material restoration, and remediation. Finishing touches restore structural integrity while preserving aesthetics and minimizing future risks.
5. Finalization & Handover

We prepare comprehensive documentation, offer maintenance guidance, and define a follow-up support strategy. A concise handover package will be delivered, outlining the work completed, outcomes achieved, and subsequent steps to ensure ongoing protection.

Design & Planning Process

At this stage, initial ideas are developed based on the client’s needs and site conditions. Architects and engineers create rough sketches and conceptual plans to visualize the project. Feasibility studies are conducted to evaluate technical, economic, and regulatory constraints, ensuring the project is viable before moving forward.

Once the concept is approved, detailed drawings, specifications, and technical documents are prepared. This includes precise measurements, material selections, and construction methods. These detailed plans serve as a blueprint for the construction process, ensuring that all aspects are clearly defined and compliant with regulations.

The final phase involves scheduling the project timeline, preparing an accurate budget, and obtaining necessary permits from authorities. Proper planning ensures smooth coordination during construction, while permits and approvals are essential for legal compliance. This stage sets the foundation for efficient execution and helps avoid delays.
