Every construction project has 4 important components that must be balanced cost, quality, timescale and safety.

• Will the project cost more than the budget allows?
• Will the quality of the building and materials mean it is structurally sound?
• Will time be wasted in the planning phases of the project, incurring additional costs?
• Will the property be safe for the families, colleagues and customers that are intended to use it once completed

These are the questions that are answered by the ADS team on a daily basis in our capacity as Structural Engineers. In general, structural engineers bring architects’ drawings to life, making calculations and recommendations as to the supporting structure that allows that property to be built safely, on time, within budget and stand for many years to come.
