How we work with practices

Built for the way architects, designers and builders actually run jobs.

Price without waiting

Instant, clear engineering prices you can drop straight into your fee proposal — no "we'll come back to you".

Delivered to your programme

You pick the delivery date — sooner or later, your call. The date sets the price, and the date holds.

Value engineering as standard

No overdesign — sensible steel sizes, buildable details, specced the way you and your client want it.

Direct engineer access

Technical query support answered by a team of engineers based in the UK, so nobody waits for someone's holiday.

Documents that hold up

Clear, consistent, Building Control-ready packs — 100% approved by building control, or a refund.

Your client, looked after

Invite clients into their own view of the project. They see progress; you keep the professional tools.

The toolkit

Free tools built around our engineering service — made for practice workflows, not adapted from consumer ones.
