Structural advice for alterations, existing buildings and defined design-review questions.
Residential alterations
Illustrative project brief: could two existing rooms connect? Bring the proposed use, existing plans and available building information, then agree the engineering role and information needed. Original UNLISPACE diagram, not to scale or a structural design; it gives no wall-removal approval, member sizes or construction instructions.
Small building projects
Design and review requirements for a defined building structure.
Technical review
An agreed review of a specified structural question and available information.
The structure belongs to a whole project.
Practical Structures considers the architectural intent, existing conditions and the decisions the engineering work needs to support. The service scope makes the interfaces and responsibilities clear.
Define the question before the calculation
A documented basis for the engineering work.
01
Review
Project, drawings, site information and the required role.
02
Scope
Design or review requirements, assumptions and deliverables.
03
Coordinate
Consultant interfaces, information needs and the programme.
For an initial engineering conversation
Available plans and a concise project description are useful.
The project
Location, use, stage and proposed work.
The information
Existing drawings, surveys and relevant reports.
The task
The design, assessment or review service required.
Start with the project question
Could two existing rooms connect? Start with the intended use and available plans, then clarify what would change, which information exists and what engineering review is needed. Original UNLISPACE silent project-brief study with playback controls. Fictional diagram, not to scale or a structural design; no construction instructions.
