Building Framing and Foundations

Framing in steel, timber, concrete and fibre composites, in residential, commercial and industrial settings. Rehabilitation and correction of non-conformities make up a good share of these mandates: working on an existing structure means first understanding how it carries load today.

Cantilevered concrete, gravity wall, gabion, reinforced earth. The choice turns on the height to be retained, the space available behind, and the nature of the backfill.

Conventional concrete footings, mat slabs where bearing capacity calls for spreading the load, piles when competent soil has to be reached deeper. On an existing building, the question is not only what the final structure is, but how you get there without anything moving in between — exactly what we do the rest of the week in shoring and earth retention.
