Structural design
Concrete and steel design with calculation notes a reviewer can follow, taken through to reinforcement detailing.
A structure that is sized, checked, drawn and defended, with the calculation behind every member on file.
Who this is for Developers, contractors and lead consultants who need a structure designed or an existing one checked.
Price this scopeWhat you receive
Analysis and design calculation note
Load take-down, load combinations, the analysis model and the member checks, laid out so a reviewer can follow a number to its source.
General arrangement drawings
Framing plans, sections and schedules at a scale that can be built from, coordinated against the architecture.
Foundation design
Footings, rafts or piles sized against the geotechnical report, and checked for uplift, overturning and settlement.
Reinforcement detailing and BBS
Rebar drawings and bar bending schedules, with laps, anchorage and cover set to the governing code and to what the site can actually place.
Peer review and second opinion
An independent read on someone else’s design, model or submission, issued as a findings register with a severity against each item.
Strengthening and remedial design
Assessment of an existing structure and a repair or strengthening scheme, with the construction sequence it depends on.

- Buildable Taken through to reinforcement detailing.
Concrete and steel design with calculation notes a reviewer can follow, taken through to reinforcement detailing.
How it is produced
The load path is decided before the model is built
A hand check on the scheme comes first. Software confirms a load path; it is not asked to discover one.
Every model is sanity-checked by hand
Reactions against applied load, deflections against span, and a simple equilibrium check before any member is sized.
The calculation note is written for the reviewer
Clause references beside the checks and assumptions stated at the front, because a note nobody can follow gets returned.
Optimised for tonnage and for buildability
Fewer sizes and repeatable details usually beat the theoretically lightest member, and the tender price shows it.

Questions clients ask
Which code do you design to?
Saudi Building Code, with ACI 318, AISC 360 and ASCE 7 behind it. If a project specifies Eurocode we design to Eurocode and say so on the note.
Can you take over a half-finished design?
Yes, and the first deliverable is a review of what exists. We will not sign a design we have not checked from the load take-down up.
Do you issue the analysis model files?
Yes. Native analysis files, the calculation note and the drawings are all handed over at closeout: that is part of the engagement, not an extra.
What does a peer review actually give us?
A findings register: each item with a severity, the clause it engages and what it would take to close it. Before appointment we give counts, severities and categories rather than document locations.
A question that is not here?
Ask the engineer who would run your project. Send the drawings and the answer comes back in writing.
Send us one package.
Send a package and you get a scope, a fixed price and a delivery date within two working days.
