De Silva Structures believe in providing a flexible approach aimed at achieving high standards and producing practical cost effective solutions to meet the client's wishes and deadlines. Emphasis is placed on a personal service, prompt response and close liaison with the client. We are based in Brighton which enables us to provide a local service to our clients in East and West Sussex. As structural engineers we aim to conceive structures which are economic and elegant. The practice employs various design software and drawing packages to aid the production of efficient designs.
De Silva Structures undertake the structural design and provide construction details for loft conversions. We would normally visit the site to discuss your proposals and then provide structural calculations and details for your loft conversion. Where necessary, we will recommend an architect who could provide the details for your scheme. Alternatively, if an architect is already employed we can liaise with them and provide calculations based on their drawings. To simplify the process for you we can also obtain tender prices from known contractors, obtain building regulation approval and carry out site inspections.
Where properties are in need of structural and general repairs De Silva Structures offer a full reporting and contract administration service. We would first visit the property and carry out an inspection to determine its overall condition and identify any defects and essential works that need to be undertaken. Following this, we would prepare a specification for the remedial works and, if required, obtain competitive quotes from builders known to us. Whilst the works are progressing on site we can carry out site inspections and agree the contractor's valuations.
