Do you design connections?

The short answer

We don't produce connection design ourselves, but we work with any structural engineer you choose — or arrange the design through a consultant we work with regularly — and keep the model in step with the calculations.

Every item of steelwork built under the Building Regulations needs structural design and connection calculations. Often the simplest route is to let us arrange it: we regularly have connection design carried out by a consultant we know and trust, and feed their results straight into the model as they arrive.

Connection design sits on the critical path. Because we are already building the model, coordinating directly with the designer saves a round of back-and-forth and keeps the drawings and calculations in step.
