James Shipton has a long and varied background in the construction industry, with a knowledge base spanning more than 25 years. He offers a personal and efficient service producing structural designs and calculations from his office in Downton near Salisbury. Geography, however, need not be a constraint since most projects can be detailed using architects' drawings thus avoiding the need for a site visit. If you are looking for a structural design using steel, concrete, timber or masonry, for a new build, extension, loft conversion or other building project, you have come to the right place. James works closely to current Brisith Standards ensuring a safe and rigourous design.

With the continuing rise in material and transport costs, an economic structural design is expected by every client. If using steel beams, James will always endeavour to use the most economic sections whilst also considering potential installation difficulties such as site access and beam weight and length.

To ensure you receive your drawings and calculation sheets as quickly as possible, drawings and calculation sheets are produced in pdf format which can be deliverd directly to the client using email. For a set of sample calculation sheets, click here.
