Services
A complete range of engineering services
GCE supports the building and construction industry end to end — from the first feasibility study through to on-site certification. Every engagement is grounded in rigorous analysis and buildable detailing.
Feasibility & tender support
Early-stage feasibility studies and tender support that de-risk projects and set them up to be built efficiently.
Value engineering
Rationalising structure and materials to reduce cost and program without compromising performance.
Structural analysis
Rigorous analysis of gravity, lateral and dynamic loads to prove the structure behaves as intended.
Documentation & drafting
Structural drawings, tender documentation and cost estimates produced to construction standard.
Detail design
Detail design in reinforced and pre-stressed concrete, steel, cold-formed steel, glass, aluminium, CLT and timber.
Foundations & geotechnical
Civil and geotechnical foundation systems and heavy-traffic slabs-on-ground for container terminals, storage areas and industrial sites.
Site supervision & QA
On-site construction quality control and structural site supervision through delivery and certification.
Project management
Coordinated project management to keep design, trades and program aligned from concept to handover.
Specialist expertise
Where GCE goes deeper
Structural engineering
Complete structural design and analysis — including post-tension suspended slabs — in concrete, steel and timber, from feasibility through to certification.
Civil & geotechnical
Foundations, slabs-on-ground and the geotechnical–structure interface for industrial, infrastructure and heavy-traffic sites such as container terminals and distribution centres.
Mass timber
Glulam (GLT) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures, fixings and curved-timber roofs — including DfMA and LOD400 detailing for European-sourced timber.
Façade engineering
Façade and fixing engineering, certification, repair methods and statements for large public, commercial and transport projects.
Sustainable design
Low-carbon, timber-led structures that reduce embodied carbon — the engineering approach behind our award-winning sustainable projects.
Temporary works
Formwork, lifting frames, link bridges and installation procedures with engineering sign-off and certification.
Detail design
Materials we design in
We produce detail design across the full palette of structural materials, selecting and combining them to suit the architecture, the program and the budget.
