Garrick Consulting Engineers is an independent structural engineering consultancy based in Guildford, Surrey, providing practical, innovative, and buildable design solutions tailored to each project. We specialise in the structural design of new-build houses, extensions, loft conversions, and a wide range of small to medium-sized residential, commercial, educational, industrial, and civil engineering projects across the South East and London. Our team includes four Chartered Structural and Civil Engineers and experienced CAD technicians, enabling us to deliver robust, efficient, and high-quality solutions across a wide variety of project types.
We collaborate with leading architects, developers, and contractors throughout all stages of the design and construction process - from early concept and planning through to construction and handover. We also work directly with private clients and homeowners, offering clear, practical guidance at every stage, from pre-purchase advice and feasibility studies to building control submissions and on-site support. Our expertise extends across a broad range of sectors and building types, including schools, industrial buildings, portal frames, and complex architectural structures.
As Chartered Members of both the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), and registered with the Engineering Council, we bring recognised technical expertise and a collaborative approach to every project. We place strong emphasis on buildability, cost efficiency, and seamless coordination, ensuring our designs are structurally sound, straightforward to construct, and aligned with the wider project vision. Using advanced 3D modelling and structural analysis software, and coordinate closely with architects, M&E designers, and contractors to simplify construction and deliver successful projects.

At Garrick Consulting Engineers, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. By working closely with clients, architects, contractors, and the wider project team, we deliver engineering solutions that bring our clients’ visions to life — on time and within budget. Our involvement extends from concept through to construction, including liaison with local authorities and building control to ensure designs comply with all relevant regulations and standards.
We offer a comprehensive range of structural and civil engineering services, including: structural analysis and design; calculations for building control approval; detailed drawings and specifications for tender and construction; reinforcement drawings and bar bending schedules; steel fabrication drawings; structural surveys and site investigations; condition reports and assessments; structural reviews for solar and PV installations; RAAC inspections and remedial design; feasibility studies; value engineering; build-over agreement support; party wall advice; expert witness services; and construction-phase support.
Our expertise spans multiple sectors — domestic, residential, commercial, industrial, education, and civil infrastructure — and a wide variety of structural types. These include new-build houses, extensions and structural alterations, loft conversions, timber, steel and concrete frame buildings, modular construction, swimming pools, bespoke staircases, basements and underpinning, piling, retaining walls, and bridges.
Our team of experienced Chartered Structural and Civil Engineers use advanced 3D analysis software to deliver robust, efficient designs for projects of all scales and complexity. In response to contemporary architectural trends, we regularly design structures with challenging modern features, such as large open-plan spaces, wide-span openings for bi-fold and sliding doors, and long cantilevers — often using a combination of traditional and innovative materials.
With sustainability increasingly central to construction, we prioritise environmentally responsible design. Our solutions aim to optimise energy efficiency, minimise embodied carbon, and balance aesthetics, functionality, and long-term durability.
We work with clients across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, Sussex, London, and the wider Home Counties — including Aldershot, Alton, Ascot, Bordon, Byfleet, Camberley, Chertsey, Chiddingfold, Chobham, Cobham, Cranleigh, Crawley, Dorking, Epsom, Esher, Farnborough, Farnham, Frimley, Godalming, Guildford, Haslemere, Horsham, Leatherhead, Midhurst, Oxted, Petworth, Reading, Redhill, Reigate, Shere, Surbiton, Virginia Water, Walton, Weybridge, Windsor, and Woking.
