Independent structural advice for legal, insurance and property matters

We can provide independent structural engineering advice where professional opinion is required for legal, insurance or property-related matters.

What it is

We can provide independent structural engineering advice where professional opinion is required for legal, insurance or property-related matters.

Our experience allows us to investigate structural issues, assess the available evidence and provide clear engineering conclusions.

When you need it

  • Disputes over building work or defects
  • Insurance claims involving structural damage
  • Neighbour disputes, including in shared tenement buildings
  • Property transactions where a structural issue needs an independent view

What we provide

  • Inspection and investigation
  • Review of drawings, reports and other evidence
  • A clear, independent written report
  • Answers to questions from solicitors, insurers or the other side

How it works

  1. Discuss

    We confirm the question we're being asked, and that we're independent of the parties.

  2. Assess

    We inspect and review the evidence.

  3. Design

    Where relevant, we consider what remedial work would be appropriate.

  4. Draw

    We set out our findings and conclusions in a clear report.

  5. Support

    We answer follow-up questions.
