Strength Where It Matters. Judgement Where It Counts.

Structure is fundamental to every building – not only in how it stands, but in how efficiently it can be built, adapted and used over time.

CORE provides structural engineering across new developments, existing buildings, adaptive reuse, refurbishments and complex upgrades.

Our approach combines technical rigour with practical engineering judgement, balancing structural performance with buildability, cost, sequencing and the wider objectives of the project.

We deliver the right level of engineering for each project – identifying where simplicity can add value, where optimisation is possible and where complexity is necessary.

Designed Around the Bigger Picture.

Structural decisions rarely exist in isolation. They influence architecture, facade, Building Services, construction methodology, programme and the future flexibility of a building.

Our engineers work closely with clients and project teams to understand these wider project drivers before developing the structural response. On existing buildings, that also means understanding what is already there – its condition, constraints and capacity – and determining how best to work with it.

This broader view helps us develop solutions that respond not only to structural requirements, but to how the building needs to be designed, constructed, adapted and used.

For our clients, that means structural solutions that work harder for the project – reducing unnecessary complexity, supporting smarter decisions and creating greater certainty around cost, construction and long-term performance.

Experience That Strengthens Every Decision.

Working across new developments, existing buildings, refurbishments and complex upgrades gives our structural engineers a perspective that extends beyond design.

We see how structures perform over time, how buildings are adapted, where coordination issues emerge and how decisions made during design can affect construction, operation and future flexibility.

Combined with direct access to CORE’s Facade and Building Services engineers, that experience gives our teams a deeper understanding of the interfaces and practical constraints that can shape a structural solution.

We bring that knowledge into every project – helping clients identify risks earlier, assess options more clearly and make engineering decisions with greater confidence.

It’s not simply about designing the structure. It’s about using what we know to help make the whole project work better.
