Services for
Private Clients
We assist private clients, typically homeowners, of all shapes and sizes (the houses that is) with a range of services. We pride ourselves on helping you to:
Feel more comfortable about undertaking a building project (it can be stressful – but we can help you feel better about it)
Understand your needs (IF you need anything at all…)
Realise your vision (and sometimes go beyond)
From concept to completion, we are willing and able to jump in when you need us. Whether you are supremely confident and have everything but your steel calcs, or if you just know that you need a structural engineer (but don’t really know why!) then get in touch and we can keep your ball rolling.
More importantly, for those of you who feel like a lost sheep and are totally stressed and anxious about the whole building malarky, please give us a call, we are confident we can help you to chill, and advise you on how to proceed, one step at a time.

What our Private Clients say
“We made use of Joe's structural engineering services on our recent home renovation project. Joe is very approachable. He listened carefully to what we had to say and what we hoped for. He was diligent and carried out thoughtful and thorough inspections on each visit, making appropriate and helpful suggestions. Joe’s steelwork design has enabled us to create a large, open plan kitchen and living space, with wonderful large doors which overlook the valley outside. The building work is now finished and we are very pleased with the finished design. It looks fantastic, better than we could have imagined.”
Maxine Phil Rotheram
“Joe was a dream to work with from start to finish. He was super speedy at turning around quality drawings when we needed them and was always at the end of the phone to answer any questions, or would happily drop into site. We can’t thank him enough for coming up with solutions to help us achieve our aesthetic vision, especially as what we were asking for wasn’t easy. A top guy and a top structural engineer! Couldn’t recommend enough.”
Charlotte MacNaughton & Daniel Whitehouse
“Joe really helped our build meet the high standards we wanted. As a couple who hadn’t taken on a project of this scale, Joe was accommodating, supportive, and in equal parts educational and instructional, both of which were critical to help newbies like us achieve a successful outcome. Joe worked to very tight deadlines that was invaluable to keep our builders moving ahead and engaged. We can’t recommend Joe enough.”
Andy & Bharti Goundry
“All Structures were recommended to me to undertake the structural engineering for a large extension to my home. When I first met Joe at home he made me feel comfortable from the outset. He is incredibly easy to talk to and he clearly explained structural concepts without jargon. Joe provided solutions and ideas on ways in which the works could be completed cost effectively, whilst ensuring the layout was optimised to meet the needs of my young family. Throughout the construction stage Joe was quick to respond to queries from the contractor and building inspector. He was the absolutely the right choice to make and I would highly recommend his services.”
