About Andrews Engineering
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.
Expertise
Andrews Engineering brings practical construction experience into technical analysis and project decision-making. The focus is on workable solutions, clear reasoning and the resolution of real site problems.
Independent technical support for property owners, developers and project teams.
Practical technical input from the early concept stage through planning and construction, including feasibility and concept consultation, site review, design coordination, problem assessment and independent support where engineering judgement and construction experience need to work together.
On-site assessment of existing conditions and project readiness.
Site inspection and assessment of existing buildings, structures and construction conditions, together with evaluation of site preparation, physical constraints, access, existing conditions and compatibility with the proposed project.
Independent technical oversight of construction work on behalf of the client.
Technical monitoring of construction work from the client's perspective, including assessment of workmanship, construction methods, compliance with agreed drawings and details, identification of defects or deviations, and independent review of technical issues arising during the works.
Technical development of alterations, openings, steelwork concepts and construction solutions.
Assessment and development of structural alterations to existing buildings, including foundations, load-bearing wall openings, steel beams and columns, floor and roof modifications and other changes affecting the existing structure.
Practical engineering solutions for design, construction and site problems.
Investigation and resolution of technical problems such as design conflicts, construction errors, impractical details, unexpected structural conditions and situations where the original solution cannot be implemented as intended.
Independent review of proposed designs, details and construction methods.
Review of drawings, specifications and proposed construction methods to identify potential technical conflicts, buildability problems and unnecessary risks before they reach the construction stage.
Structural calculations and supporting technical documentation where required.
Structural calculations for alterations, steelwork and other structural applications, coordinated as part of the overall engineering solution.
Independent technical assessment of a property before purchase.
Technical assessment of the property before purchase, focusing on its existing condition, visible defects, construction risks and the feasibility of proposed alterations or development, helping the client make a better-informed decision before committing to the purchase.
Technical assessment of property condition and sale readiness before marketing.
Assessment of the property's technical condition before sale, identifying visible defects, maintenance or remedial works and other issues that may affect presentation, buyer confidence or the sale process, with practical advice on priorities before the property is marketed.
Approach
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.
