We highly recommend Steve who was very helpful with a couple of projects. He was very good with advice on process, designs and cost savings. Would happily use him again.

Steve really went the extra mile to help sort a building issue in my house and I would recommend him for both his professional and personal approachability to anyone looking.

KUNAL SHARMA

★★★★★

Steven was excellent. I needed a quick structural engineer survey and report for the removal of our chimney breast and this was completed within a couple of days of the initial ask. Steven was professional, diligent and extremely understanding with regards to timescales. I already had a builder on site and wanted to get the drawings and calcs done so we could get a party wall agreement sorted out. Would definitely recommend and will be using again in the future.

★★★★★

We used Steve for a large renovation project in Harpenden and his service was excellent for what was a complex design. Quick to respond and provided some excellent advice leading to a change in design plans.

DAVE BISHOP

★★★★★

I contacted Total Design Structural regarding a structural survey, and I couldn't be more impressed. Steven provided excellent advice, was highly professional, and maintained a friendly and approachable manner throughout. His attention to detail and clear explanations gave me complete confidence in his work. The service was outstanding from start to finish, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steven to anyone needing a thorough and reliable structural survey.

SIMON KELLY

★★★★★

We used TDS for a structural integrity report on a house we were selling. We'd had a lot of nonsense and ill-informed opinion hold the process up, but TDS were amazing — did the inspection and report within 48 hours and helped give everyone assurance and peace of mind. Shame we can't give 6 stars!

PAUL GILLINGS

★★★★★

Used TDS for a project involving an extension to my house. A no-obligation visit from really knowledgeable Steve, who actually suggested a few alterations to the design, which gave us more space and ended up saving money on our builders quote. Steve was able to work with our builder throughout the job and save us money in a few areas and also suggest alternatives when our builder suggested delays getting materials. Steve suggested the additional glazing above our opening kitchen doors and it made such a difference.

Steve has supplied the structural drawings on numerous projects I have completed. I have found Total Design Structural Ltd to be professional and very approachable. Their attention to detail goes far beyond just structural drawings. They will go that extra mile to make sure that what has been designed is structurally safe, but also pleasing to the client. Steve has always been available for any queries I might have had. I look forward to working with Steve in many more projects to come and I would have no hesitation on referring him in the future.

With Steve as Lead Engineer, TDS offers and provides excellent engineering solutions for refurbishments and new-build projects. As a residential Architect working in Central London, I've engaged them on most of my projects. They always provide smart and delicate solutions to our architectural proposals, which we and the clients love for their elegance and efficiency. I would highly recommend Steve / TDS to any private or commercial client looking for bespoke, hands-on engineering solutions and a highly professional approach to their projects and properties.

Had a very good experience working with Steve recently on the structural design elements for our building project. Steve delivered the work on time and took the time to explain everything to us clearly. He also navigated some complex parts of the build design really well, and worked proactively with our architect. He also delivered a very detailed and carefully thought-out structural design pack.

I am a client of Total Design Structural and are very happy with their services. I used them for the structural design of a two-storey rear extension and a loft conversion. Total Design Structural were extremely professional, helpful, responsive and competitive in price. I would happily work with Steve again.

As an architect working on domestic projects in and around West London I turn to Steve for all my structural input and design. I have been working with him for over ten years on dozens of projects and always recommend him to clients as my preferred structural engineer. He is highly efficient, providing drawings with a very rapid turn around and for a very reasonable fee. However what I appreciate the most is that his structural design is always informed by considerations of buildability, economy and efficiency. It is never over-specified and I am sure that on occasion he has saved clients his fee several times over through intelligent and carefully considered structural design.
