Structural engineering
We provide structural engineering services for new builds, renovations, and industrial projects. Our expertise covers all building types and materials, and precast element design. Our approach is defined by close collaboration and the courage to propose innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions. With us, you gain access to top-tier structural engineering expertise – even for the most demanding projects.

Strong expertise for new construction, renovation, and industry
In new construction projects, our strong structural engineering expertise meets even the most demanding tasks and projects. We are committed to proposing innovative, cost-efficient, and sustainable structural solutions, leveraging the latest data-driven design methods – including algorithm-assisted and parametric design.
We become your trusted partner early in the project, helping define the most suitable structural and precast solutions already during the concept and feasibility phases.
In renovation projects, we investigate and design structural renovation solutions with a deep understanding of both technical and economic goals. Our knowledge of historical construction methods and materials enables us to modernize even the most complex or culturally significant buildings – respecting architectural heritage.
For industrial clients, we design complex and demanding facilities such as factories, production plants, logistics and warehouse halls, power plants, wastewater treatment facilities, substations, and supporting infrastructure.
"Our structural engineering expertise includes steel structure and precast element engineering, also for seismically active and arctic regions."
Structural design with a focus on sustainability
We provide structural and precast element design for a wide range of projects. Our design approach is guided by the building’s intended use and the specific goals of each project.
Our structural expertise is combined with the latest knowledge in building physics. This ensures that homes are healthy and safe to live in, and that schools and hospitals are long-lasting, adaptable, and offer excellent indoor air quality.
As your structural designer, we incorporate circular economy principles, low-carbon material alternatives, and features that promote long building lifespans – such as durability, flexibility, and reusability – into our recommendations and designs, always aligned with your project goals.
Expertise in concrete, steel, and timber structures
Our concrete design expertise includes prestressed structures, cast-in-place concrete, and precast concrete elements. We also provide cost calculations and quantity surveys, as well as product compliance assessments for building components.
We are internationally recognized experts in steel structure design. Our experience covers demanding projects from high-rise residential buildings to industrial facilities, as well as power plants, bridges, transmission towers, masts, and other steel-framed structures.
Our structural engineers are also known for their timber structure expertise. We are well-versed in modern timber and timber element solutions, and we design timber and hybrid frames – also for architecturally ambitious projects.
