Featured Project:

PS Structural Ltd. was commissioned to transform a 19th-century brewery into vibrant, mixed-use space retaining the original external brick walls and roof trusses while carving out ground-floor retail units and 64 modern apartments above.

  • This technically demanding, phased scheme includes:
  • Detailed design of steel columns and RSJ beams to create open retail floorplates

  • Foundation sizing and strip-footing checks tailored to heritage-grade walls

All works are delivered under a carefully sequenced programme to maintain structural stability, meet UK Building Regulations and respect the site’s conservation constraints.
