What we do

Six engineering disciplines under one roof

Complete engineering services under one firm, so the structural, architectural and services drawings agree with each other before they reach site.

01

Structural Design & Engineering

RC and steel structure design for high-rise, industrial, and commercial buildings. Gravity and seismic analysis per BNBC 2020.

02

Architectural Design

Comprehensive architectural design from concept through detailed drawings. Spatial planning, facade design, and building code compliance.

03

Interior Design & Decoration

Complete interior design services for residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces. Material selection, joinery detailing, and execution supervision.

04

MEP Engineering

Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing design. Load calculation, system layout, and coordination with structural and architectural elements.

05

Soil & Foundation Engineering

Geotechnical investigation, soil test interpretation, foundation design and analysis. Shallow and deep foundation solutions for any soil condition.

06

Construction Work

On-site quality control, material testing co-ordination, drawing compliance, and structural certification at project completion.

How a project starts

Four steps from first call to certification

The plate on the left follows the step you are reading. Scroll through the four and the sheet keeps pace.





Step 01 of 04
Step 01

Free consultation

You tell us the site, the intended use and the number of floors. We tell you which disciplines the project needs and what we need from you.

Step 02

Survey and soil

Site survey and geotechnical investigation establish the ground conditions before any structural decision is made.

Step 03

Design and drawings

Architectural and structural design proceed together. Gravity and seismic analysis per BNBC 2020, then drawings issued for construction.

Step 04

Supervision and certification

On site quality control, material testing coordination and drawing compliance, ending in structural certification at completion.

Before you appoint

Questions clients ask before appointing a consultant

What does a structural consultant actually do?

We size and detail the structure that carries your building. That means load analysis, foundation design, reinforced concrete and steel detailing, and the drawings your contractor builds from. The design is checked against BNBC 2020 before it is issued.

BNBC 2020 is the current Bangladesh National Building Code. It sets the loading, seismic and detailing requirements for buildings in Bangladesh. Every structure we design is analysed for gravity and seismic loading against it.

Yes. Foundation design depends on ground conditions, so the work starts with geotechnical investigation and soil test interpretation. We then select a shallow or a deep foundation to suit the site rather than assuming one.

It depends on the floor area, the structural system and the approval route. We confirm a programme after the free consultation, once we have the site information and the architectural brief in front of us.

On site quality control, material testing coordination, and checks that the work built matches the drawings issued. At completion we issue structural certification for the project.

Yes. The office is in Banani, Dhaka, and we take projects across Bangladesh. Several of the projects shown above sit well outside the capital.

Often, yes. We review the existing drawings and what has already been built, then tell you plainly what can be kept and what has to be redesigned before we accept responsibility for the structure.

The site location and plot size, the intended use, the number of floors, any soil report you already hold, and your target start date. Call or email and we will respond within 24 hours.
