From a single structural survey through to the complete design of a multi-million-pound development, our engineers deliver clear technical advice and robust engineering solutions that keep projects moving safely and efficiently.
Homes, commercial buildings and surveys
Surveys, alterations, extensions and new-build design
The blogs and project record point to a practice that is strongest when clients need plain structural judgement: defects, extensions, alterations, foundations, drainage and buildable details.
We believe good structural engineering should provide practical solutions rather than unnecessary complexity. Our engineers work collaboratively with clients and the wider design team to develop designs that are safe, economical and buildable.
Whether you require a structural survey for a home, calculations for a steel beam, or engineering support for a major commercial development, MJ Consulting Engineers provides experienced advice, responsive service and technically robust solutions from concept through to completion.
Our structural surveys provide an independent assessment of a building's structural condition, helping clients understand the cause of defects and the most appropriate course of action. Surveys are tailored to the requirements of each property and may include investigation of:
Every survey is accompanied by a clear written report explaining our findings, the likely causes of any defects and practical recommendations for repair, monitoring or further investigation where required. We offer fast turnarounds, with inspection reports typically issued within one to two working days following the survey.
Our engineers produce structural calculations and construction details for projects ranging from straightforward domestic alterations through to complex commercial developments. Our services include:
All designs are prepared in accordance with current Building Regulations and relevant British Standards and Eurocodes, providing the information required for Building Control approval and construction.
Existing buildings often present unique engineering challenges. We work closely with architects, developers and contractors to unlock development opportunities while retaining as much of the existing structure as practical. Our engineers regularly assist with:
By becoming involved early in the design process, we can often identify opportunities to reduce construction costs, simplify structural solutions and minimise project risk.
This part of the practice is less theatrical, but just as practical: inspect the building, explain the risk, design the support and give the client something usable.
Is Stockport the new "Berlin of the North"? It’s certainly starting to feel like it. If you’ve been house-hunting in Greater Manchester lately, you’ve likely noticed a clear trend: smart money is heading to Stockport.
Rear extensions are one of the most popular forms of residential development in Manchester. From Victorian terraces in South Manchester to semi-detached homes across Greater Manchester, homeowners are increasingly choosing to extend rather than move. However, many rear extensions encounter delays, redesigns, or unexpected costs due to insufficient structural engineering input at the early stages. Engaging a qualified structural engineer in Manchester is essential to ensure your extension...
London’s West End theatres are global icons — spaces where heritage, artistry, and engineering meet. Yet behind the ornate plasterwork and velvet curtains, many of these buildings face a hidden challenge: their original stage structures were never designed for today’s technically ambitious productions.
