Our Structural Engineer Design Process
The PorthouseDean structural engineering process is a detailed and systematic approach that has been fine-tuned and developed over time. At PorthouseDean, not only is our structural engineering work high-quality, our client-service is too.
The consistency of our work is key. Providing a quality service is, without question, one of our greatest priorities when we’re dealing with a client. However, the speed and reliability that we provide it is what makes us truly stand out.
Our structural engineering process begins by assessing the enquiry to ensure that the quote is as accurate and watertight as possible. From here we will agree on a structural layout and produce detailed design documents. Once our work is completed, we will contact you to ensure that you are 100% happy with every single aspect.
We have provided assistance and consultation on a huge variety of different projects across the UK. Therefore, if you’re looking for a residential structural engineering service you can trust, you’re in the right place.

The Importance of a Comprehensive Structural Engineering Process
Our meticulously created structural engineering process is essential to ensure that your project’s design is high quality and functional — all while meeting the needs of every stakeholder. Ultimately, a reliable structural engineering process is vital to ensure that a building project can be completed safely and securely, with considerations for cost-effectiveness and compliance with required regulations. For a residential project to be successful, it requires collaboration across all stakeholders — to ensure that the work is done to the maximum of its potential. For a job done properly, you’re in the right place.
A well-structured engineering design process is a vital step in the successful delivery of a project for a number of reasons. These include:
Maximise Safety
The primary role of a structural engineer is to help make sure that a structure is designed to be both strong and durable — to enable the architectural designs to be realised as safely as possible.
Ensuring Efficiency
A properly devised structural engineering process ensures that a design is optimised for maximum efficiency. This includes minimising material wastage, construction time, and costs.
Simple Solutions
By ensuring that anybody can understand the work PorthouseDean do, we can significantly minimise the risk of confusion and misunderstandings, as well as possible delays that can follow.
Clear Communication
A well-structured design process should guarantee clear communication between engineer, architect, and other stakeholders. Clear lines of communications are key to getting everybody on the same page.
