STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING ACROSS THE UK
Foundation design
Start with an understanding of the ground.
The structure behind your plans
Foundations transfer building loads into the ground. Design depends on the structure, soil conditions, trees, nearby foundations and constraints such as drainage. Appropriate site information is essential.
What your scope can include
- Strip or pad foundation design where appropriate
- Assessment of structural loads and bearing requirements
- Foundation drawings and reinforcement details where needed
- Coordination with ground investigation findings
What we need from you
- Proposed structure and loading information
- Ground investigation, trial pit or soil records
- Tree locations, types and approximate heights
- Nearby foundations, boundaries and drainage layouts
From information to issued documents
Send your information through our quote form. We review the scope, confirm any missing details and provide a written quotation. Design and technical review follow once the appointment and required information are in place.
What you’ll receive
Your quotation identifies the calculations, drawings, report or responses to be issued. Documents set out the relevant assumptions and limitations so your project team can understand how to use them.

Common questions
Can a foundation depth be confirmed from my postcode?
No. A postcode cannot establish ground conditions. Project-specific information and, where needed, investigation are required.
Are trial pits always necessary?
The required information depends on the project. Existing foundation details or new ground investigation may be needed before design can be completed.
How much will the work cost?
Fees depend on the structure, available information and required deliverables. You receive a project-specific written quotation before appointing the team.
How soon can you start?
Tell us your target dates. Availability and delivery timing are confirmed in your quotation; urgent or express work must be agreed before booking.
