What this covers
A structure is often at its most vulnerable during construction, not after — when original support has been removed and new structure isn't yet complete. Temporary works design manages that risk through every stage of the sequence.
Temporary support design
Propping, shoring and temporary stability design for structures during alteration or demolition.
Sequencing advice
Construction sequencing that manages structural risk at every stage, not just the finished condition.
Contractor support
Direct technical support to main and specialist contractors through the build programme.
Site-stage inspections
Inspections at key construction milestones, confirming work matches design intent and remains structurally sound.
Present through construction, not just design
Temporary works risk is easy to underestimate on paper and genuinely dangerous to get wrong on site — particularly on historic or fragile structures, where original fabric may have far less residual capacity than a modern building of the same form. We treat temporary stability with the same rigour as permanent design.
We stay engaged through the construction programme itself, not just at design stage, so that sequencing risk is managed as conditions on site actually unfold rather than only as planned in advance.
