Our Services

Lawson Cook specialise in designing and engineering new build domestic properties that are safe, functional, and cost-effective. Our team of experienced engineers works closely with Architects, contractors and homeowners to ensure every project is tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.

The conversion of existing loft spaces can enhance a building’s internal floor area quite significantly. Such conversions can require complex solutions, bespoke to the existing structure. Our specialist enhancement techniques will get the most out of any loft space.

Whether it’s a single-storey extension to give you a larger entertaining space, extending across multiple levels to make room for much-needed living space, or a wrap-around extension, Lawson Cook can provide the optimal bespoke structural solution to facilitate.

Structural design of the required steelwork and supports to safely remove internal or external load-bearing walls. Architectural drawings are not always required, as Lawson Cook can survey the property and prepare the necessary structural calculations and drawings for the proposed opening.

Identification of loadbearing structure is imperative for any SE package. Incorporation of structure is vital to Architectural packages. Lawson Cook work closely with Architects, which helps us with efficient and effective solutions.

Lawson Cook provide the complete steelwork design packages, inclusive of all associated bearing design. Calculation packages are based upon bespoke parameters and individual building features, and all to British Standards & Eurocodes.

At Lawson Cook, we provide bespoke structural steel connection design when fabricators do not supply their own. Our engineers deliver safe, compliant solutions in line with UK Building Regulations and Eurocode standards.

To help reduce costs, we only charge for connection design services when specifically instructed, giving you flexibility and control.

Lawson Cook will also provide the complete commercial package, working alongside larger design teams to deliver commercial builds on behalf of the client. We use the latest technology and BIM design tools to create innovative solutions that are cost-effective.

We can even put together Civil Engineering design packages.

At Lawson Cook, we provide temporary works design for scaffolding, propping, shoring, and falsework. Our engineers deliver safe, compliant, and cost‑effective solutions in line with UK Building Regulations and Eurocode standards.

We tailor each design to site conditions, helping contractors reduce risk and maintain project timelines. From beam propping to scaffolding systems, Lawson Cook offers clear calculations and drawings to support construction projects from start to finish.

When buildings age, or when accidents happen, ensuring structural integrity and longevity is imperative to confirm the safety of occupants. Our team of experienced structural engineers provide comprehensive inspection reports on the structural integrity of your property, in a clear and concise manner.
