The process

How structural engineer is scoped in Hampstead

    Describe the structural engineer outcome you need, what has already been tried, and whether the property is occupied on the local stock type recorded for Hampstead.

  2. Photograph fabric and access

  3. Submit a private brief

    Use the online brief or call. We review the Hampstead evidence against fabric, access, freeholder or authority constraints and current capacity before anyone is programmed.

  4. Receive a written next step

    Accepted structural engineer work is described in writing for the exact unit — not a district menu price invented from NW3 alone. Submitting a brief is not a booking.

  5. Programme and complete under written terms

    When accepted, works are sequenced for Hampstead access and occupancy under Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, with snagging as agreed in writing.
