Serving the City of London's Historic and Modern Homes
Structural Engineering for Major Refurbishments
Bourdon Hill provides expert structural engineering for comprehensive residential refurbishments across the City of London. Whether updating a modern apartment or restoring a period property in Temple, our role is to ensure the building's structural integrity is maintained and enhanced. We work alongside architects and contractors to address issues like floor strengthening, wall removals, and modifications for new services, ensuring the final result is both beautiful and structurally sound, meeting all City Corporation requirements.
Local Challenges
Residential Refurbishments in City of London
Refurbishment projects in the City often contend with access restrictions and the need to protect neighbouring commercial and residential properties. For listed buildings, any intervention must be justified and sympathetic to the original construction. We develop structural solutions and construction method statements that are practical for the dense urban environment of the Square Mile. Our designs carefully consider buildability, helping to mitigate logistical hurdles and satisfy the stringent requirements of local planning and conservation officers.
