The process

How structural engineer is scoped in Richmond

  3. Submit a private brief

    Use the online brief or call. We review the Richmond 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 TW9 alone. Submitting a brief is not a booking.

  5. Programme and complete under written terms

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