We worked on this project with Austin Design Works a few years ago. It was previously a house and separate garage but now fully upgraded and with a contemporary link. The building makes the most of the views across the valley towards Inchbrook. There are a few in progress photographs below but follow this link to see the final design – Cotswold Stone Family Home.

Advanced Steel Connection & Member Design

November 20, 2020November 20, 2020Russell Davies

We have invested in some new software to analyse and design complex connections and member shapes using IdeaStatiCa Connection. We have been using it to check some cantilever members of a canopy with the lower plate in compression with potential buckling. It has the potential to check any shape of connection.

Definitions of Surveys

There are many different types of surveys and investigations for buildings and the Construction Industry Council (CIC) has produced a useful document defining the different types. The term “structural survey” although widely used should be avoided as it is not well defined and can lead to confusion as to what is included or excluded. A link to the document is included below.
