Our Services

Alteration of existing buildings takes planning and understanding. Our qualified engineers conduct the background research, on-site investigation and survey work crucial for identifying issues that you may encounter.

Combining experience and creative innovation, we design structural alterations and interventions in keeping with the existing building and developed to last a lifetime.

From small domestic refurbishments, house extensions and loft conversions to historic building works and larger education, commercial, retail and industrial developments, we have extensive experience to guide your project to success.

Starting a project from the ground requires detailed structural design from the start. We offer extensive experience working alongside your wider professional team, many of whom we have probably worked with before, from the initial concept stage through to the project’s construction.

Organising investigations early to establish opportunities and constraints is important. Our team provide attention to detail, calling on specialists to conduct detailed investigations if required for more complex projects.  

Our structural solutions will be customised to suit the specific requirements of your project, small or large in residential, education, commercial, retail or industrial. We consider alternative options for materials, structural form and layout to arrive at the optimum solution for your needs.

Whether you are buying a new property or have concerns about an existing building, an assessment by a Structural Engineer’s Report will empower you to make informed decisions.

The AFP team assess buildings for a wide range of defects, including cracking, subsidence, movement, alteration and deterioration or overloading of the structure.  

Our detailed reports identify any issues, offering you clear recommendations for remedial repair and planning ongoing monitoring or further investigation. In many cases, our professional opinion simply provides peace of mind for property owners, concluding that no further action is required.

Detailed planning of external works and drainage has become a complex aspect of building development.

From roads and hard standing, to flood risk assessment and drainage strategies (including Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)), we will ensure you have the effective designs needed to safeguard people, property and the wider environment, which comply with the latest regulations.

Responding to the progressive focus on sustainability measures and increasingly stringent planning expectations, AFP can provide the experience and design needed to progress your project through planning and Building Regulations.
