What We Do
Structural Engineering is the backbone of a safe building. We design the frame, foundations and load paths of your structure: and produce the COREN-signed structural drawings your approval file requires. No guesswork, no “it will hold” engineering.
What We Deliver
- Structural drawings: signed and stamped by a COREN-registered engineer, ready for your approval file
- Load calculations: beams, columns, slabs and foundations designed to real loads, not assumptions
- Foundation design: designed for your actual soil, from our geotechnical data where required
- Structural assessment: inspection and strengthening design for existing structures
When You Need a Structural Engineer
- Any building above one storey: the higher the building, the less forgiving the structure
- Buildings near water bodies: soft or saturated soils need proper foundation design
- Suspicious existing structures: cracks, settlement or questionable previous work
- Approval applications: the planning authority will ask for COREN-signed structural drawings
The Process
- Brief and drawings: we receive your architectural drawings and site information
- Design: structural analysis, load calculations and foundation design
- Drawings: a complete structural drawing set, signed by a COREN engineer
- Delivery: digital and printed sets, ready for approval and construction

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do approval applications need structural drawings?
Planning authorities in Edo State and most other states require structural drawings signed by a COREN-registered engineer: part of the standard building approval file. Without them, your application is rejected at the first checkpoint.
When do I need a structural engineer?
Any building above one storey, buildings near water bodies or on soft soil, and any structure you want to be confident about. A foundation designed by guesswork is the most common cause of cracks and settlement.
Can you design the structure for my house from my architectural drawings?
Yes. We take your architectural drawings and produce the structural design, load calculations and foundation design that your approval file and your builders need.
Do you inspect existing structures?
Yes: we assess existing buildings for structural integrity, design strengthening where needed, and work with our building integrity audit service for buyers of existing property.
