Why Choose Us
The right structural engineer can save you time and money, reduce problems on site and help your project run smoothly from design through construction.
At Garrick Consulting Engineers, we combine an experienced Chartered team with practical design, clear coordinated information, modern technology and responsive support. Our aim is not simply to provide calculations, but to help our clients make decisions quickly, control construction costs and avoid problems on site.
1. An experienced, highly qualified team
Your project is handled by an established team of six Chartered Structural Engineers, supported by graduate engineers and experienced Structural Technicians, all working together at our Surrey office.
Our engineers have strong professional consultancy backgrounds and work within rigorous technical and checking procedures.
Unlike many smaller practices, we have the depth of team to provide continuity, specialist input and cover when needed.
2. Clear, coordinated information that helps projects run smoothly
We provide CAD drawings in DWG format as standard on almost all projects, giving architects and contractors clear information they can coordinate directly with their own drawings.
This helps identify issues earlier, reduce ambiguity on site and minimise costly changes during construction.
For simple projects, such as a removal of a load bearing wall, we can provide a sketch-based service.
3. Fast, efficient design using the latest technology
We invest heavily in latest structural design and drawing software to produce accurate, efficient designs quickly.
Our systems allow us to assess options, avoid unnecessary over-design and respond efficiently when projects change.
This means faster turnaround without relying on rushed calculations or generic solutions.
4. Easy to contact and responsive when it matters
Our engineers are supported by a dedicated administrative team, so enquiries and site queries are picked up and dealt with quickly.
Clients, architects and contractors can speak directly to the engineers working on their project.
With our whole team based at our office near Guildford, we can often attend sites across Surrey, London and the South East at short notice.
5. Practical, buildable and cost-conscious solutions
We design with the whole project in mind, considering buildability, coordination, sequencing and construction cost rather than simply producing calculations.
We look for the most appropriate solution for each project and avoid unnecessary complexity.
Our broad experience across new buildings, refurbishments, listed properties, basements and difficult sites allows us to solve problems practically.
6. The expertise you need, with a more personal service
Our established structural engineering team provides the experience and resources to deal with projects efficiently, while remaining accessible and easy to work with.
Clients benefit from direct communication with the engineers working on their project, without the layers of management and fragmented communication that occur in larger organisations.
Where additional expertise is required, including civil engineering, drainage, highways, and flood risk advice, we work closely with trusted specialist consultants to help provide a coordinated service.
