Structural Engineering & Frame Design
We design safe, economical structures: precise structural analysis and design of concrete, steel and foundations balancing safety, efficiency and cost, fully compliant with the Saudi Building Code and international standards.
Service Overview
Structural engineering is the backbone of any building. We provide analysis and design for concrete, steel and composite structures, including foundations, columns, beams, slabs and lateral load-resisting systems, ensuring safety, durability and material economy.
We use advanced structural analysis software and design per SBC 301 (loads), SBC 304 (concrete), ACI and AISC. We coordinate early with architecture and MEP to ensure space efficiency, constructability and clash avoidance.
Scope of Work
- Analysis and design of concrete and steel structures
- Shallow and deep foundation design per the soil report
- Lateral load-resisting systems (wind and seismic)
- Structural modelling and analysis with specialist software
- Preparing structural construction drawings and details
- Reviewing contractor shop drawings
