Structural

TMCO delivers safe, efficient structural designs that balance strength, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for projects of all sizes.

Structural engineering that respects the architecture.

Good structural design is about more than strength. It is about finding the solution that carries the loads, suits the architecture, coordinates cleanly with every other discipline and stays affordable to build. That balance is what we bring to every project, from large commercial developments to bespoke homes.

What we offer

Our structural team works across all sectors and complexities, delivering practical, buildable designs. Our services include:

  • New building structural design in steel, concrete, timber and masonry
  • Seismic assessment and strengthening of existing buildings
  • Fully modelled structural systems in 3D (BIM)
  • Coordination with architectural and services models
  • Green Star aligned and lower-carbon structural solutions
  • Design certification and construction observation
  • Remedial and adaptive reuse design for existing structures

For existing buildings

We assess how existing structures perform and how to improve them, whether you are strengthening, altering, extending or repurposing. We give clear options that balance structural performance against cost and disruption. This might include:

  • Structural condition and capacity assessments
  • Seismic assessment and strengthening design
  • Alterations, additions and change-of-use design
  • Remedial design for damaged or ageing structures

For new buildings

From the first sketch, we work alongside the architect and design team to shape a structure that is efficient, buildable and coordinated. Early structural input avoids the costly clashes and reworks that come from bringing engineering in too late.

Options that are costed and clear

We set out the structural options with their pros and cons, capital and running cost implications and buildability, so you can make an informed decision with no nasty surprises.

Designed for efficient construction

We model the full structural solution in 3D within the architect's model, using Revit and ArchiCAD. That gives the builder clarity, reduces installation time and keeps construction costs down.

Buildable structures, delivered on some of the most complex projects around.

Our structural engineers have delivered award-winning work across commercial, civic, education, healthcare, hospitality, industrial and residential projects, including large arenas, galleries, hospitals and heritage buildings.

Whatever the scale or complexity, we bring the same focus: a structure that stands up, suits the architecture and is straightforward to build.

When will you benefit by involving us?

At the outset of a new project

The earlier we are involved, the more value we add. Structural decisions made at concept stage shape cost, buildability and the architectural outcome for the whole project. Bringing us in early avoids expensive changes later.

  • When you need objective, independent structural advice on the options available
  • When an existing building needs assessment or strengthening
  • When you are altering, extending or changing the use of a building
  • Whenever buildability and construction cost matter
  • When architectural ambition needs a structural solution to match
