Structures

JMS supports architects, developers, contractors and private clients from early feasibility through to calculations, details and construction-stage advice. The work ranges from straightforward residential alterations to multi-storey buildings and technically constrained existing structures.

The team looks at load paths, foundations, frames, retaining structures, facade interfaces, buildability and the condition of existing fabric. That early structural judgement helps identify the practical route before designs become expensive to change.

Typical outputs include structural calculations, design drawings, sketches, inspection notes, technical reports and design coordination with the wider project team. JMS keeps the focus on safe, buildable answers that satisfy client aims, contractor needs and approval requirements.

Because no two structures behave in exactly the same way, the service is deliberately flexible: a cracked wall, a basement dig, a roof alteration and a ten-storey frame all need different levels of investigation, calculation and coordination.
