SRW Structures delivers 20 years of structural engineering experience. Specializing in residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural projects, SRW Structures brings hands-on expertise from South Africa and the UK to every design.
Led by Seb Willett, a dedicated ECSA-registered Engineering Technologist and NHBRC-competent professional, we specialize in steel, timber, reinforced concrete, and masonry. We are passionate about exploring design through parametric tools like Grasshopper to deliver innovative solutions for residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural clients.
We work closely with Architects, Developers, Contractors and Clients to meet each party’s expectations and deliver the brief on time.
We utilize tools like AutoCAD, Robot, Prokon, Dlubal, Rhino, and Grasshopper to deliver precise, innovative designs. We apply parametric design, whenever possible, to optimize solutions that meet both local and international standards.
Our Services
1
Structural Design and Analysis
Prepare calculations and details for structural elements in materials such as concrete, steel, timber & masonry to ensure the integrity of structures meet the criteria of relevant codes and standards. Utilize software like AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino & Dlubal to assist with modeling and simulations.
5
Feasibility Studies and Site Assessments
Assess site conditions, including soil, topography, and environment for structural suitability.
7
Project Planning and Consultation
Work with architects, contractors, and other engineers to incorporate structural designs into the broader project brief. Offer expertise on materials, construction methods, and cost solutions. Create technical specifications, drawings, and reports for clients and regulators.
2
Structural Inspections and Assessments
Examine structures for safety and damage, conduct audits for renovations or repurposing, and provide reports with repair recommendations.
4
Construction Supervision and Quality Control
Ensure construction meets design specs, codes, and standards. Review contractor work and materials for structural integrity. Resolve on-site issues and provide solutions to unexpected challenges.
8
Retrofit and Rehabilitation
Enhance existing structures with modern design solutions to meet standards, or adapt for new uses. Suggest retrofitting methods.
6
Regulatory Compliance and Permitting
Ensure designs meet local, national, and international building codes, standards, and regulations (e.g., SANS, Eurocodes, etc.). Prepare documentation and structural calculations for permit applications and regulatory approvals.
9
Risk Assessment and Mitigation
Identify risks like structural failures and environmental hazards, and suggest mitigation strategies. Analyze failures in collapsed or damaged structures to identify causes and prevent future incidents.
3
Specialized Services
Write scripts using visual scripting software, such as Grasshopper, for complex geometries and automating recurring tasks.
