About Andrews Engineering

Engineering expertise combined with practical construction experience.

Andrews Engineering is a technical engineering and construction consultancy focused on practical problem solving, structural alterations and the review of real-world construction issues.

The business is built around long practical experience in construction, structural steelwork and fabrication, refurbishment and the assessment of existing buildings. The emphasis is not on applying standard solutions blindly, but on understanding how a building actually works and developing an appropriate, buildable response.

Structural calculations form part of the Andrews Engineering service, supporting the development of practical and technically appropriate solutions for structural alterations and other construction projects.

Approach

Start with the problem, not the template.

Existing buildings rarely behave exactly as drawings suggest. Successful technical work depends on understanding how a structure was actually built, how it is carrying load and how proposed changes will affect it.

The aim is straightforward: identify the real problem, develop a practical solution and make it buildable.
