A strong background in design, supported by extensive experience in structural and civil engineering.
We have a commitment to a low-carbon built environment and the industry's Net Zero future.


Superstructure Design

The design of the structural elements above ground. We design all types of building structures in all standard materials - steel, timber, masonry and concrete. We also design in specialist materials and products such as glass and SIPS panels.

Substructure Design

The design of the structural elements below ground. We design all foundation types including traditional trench fill, pile and beam and various hybrid systems.

Site Inspections

The majority of our projects start with an inspection of the site, or in the case of extensions, alterations and conversions - an inspection of the existing structure. We also undertake surveys of existing buildings to assess crack damage, or suspected structural failure.

Ground Investigations

All ground investigations are undertaken by specialist Geotechnical subcontractors. Our role here is to oversee the organisation of them to ensure that the most appropriate investigations are carried out. We also review the results and design the substructure to suit the conditions.

Drafting and Detailing

Superstructures is renowned for providing excellent drawings and details. All of our structural designs are issued with a comprehensive package of CAD drawings and details for construction.

Concept Consultation

We love being involved in projects at an early stage. If structural concepts and issues are discussed before the design progresses too far, we can help to streamline the overall process and make substantial project savings. We can also advise on feasibility of sites and buildings for conversion/ adaptation.

Drainage Design

We develop solutions which include Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), attenuation storage, water quality improvement, and pumping stations to meet both environmental and regulatory standards, along with value engineering solutions.

Highways and Access Road Design

We prepare layouts for private developments, adoptable roads, and estate infrastructure in accordance with local authority standards, NHBC, DMRB, and best practice guidelines.

Earthworks and Ground Modelling

We create efficient cut-and-fill strategies and ground profiles to optimise material use and support safe, buildable site preparation, and balance sites to provide cost-effective solutions.

External Works Design

Our designs of hard and soft landscaped areas, boundary treatments, and surface finishes ensure practical, attractive, and accessible outdoor spaces for both private and public schemes.

Utility Infrastructure Design

The planning and coordination of service connections including water, gas, electricity, telecoms, and drainage. We ensure infrastructure is seamlessly integrated into the overall site layout, complying with statutory requirements.

Flood Risk and Surface Water Management

We provide site-specific flood risk assessments and develop strategies including SuDS, attenuation systems, water quality improvement, and flow control measures to meet planning stipulations. These can be key to unlocking potential sites for our clients.

Sustainability Service

At Superstructures we are committed to supporting the construction industry in transitioning to a low carbon built environment, in order to proactively align ourselves with the industries progress along its Net Zero trajectory.
