Our Design and Project Process
At BLE, we believe that great results start with early collaboration. Our design team engages from the very beginning to drive innovation, efficiency, and value throughout your project. By working closely with clients, architects, contractors, and other stakeholders, we help turn your vision into reality with practical and forward-thinking structural solutions.
We can also obtain quotations for construction work on your behalf and assist in selecting a competent contractor, ensuring that every stage of your project runs smoothly and cost-effectively.
Client-Focused from Start to Finish
When it comes to managing and designing your project, the BLE client team helps you focus on what truly matters — achieving the most efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.
Through strong relationships and a clear understanding of your goals, we make the development process easier and more transparent, providing tailored advice you can trust.
No matter what stage you’re at, we’ll help you get the most out of your project — reducing construction costs while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.
Our Design Process
Every project begins with an initial site visit to understand your requirements and establish a clear brief for structural design and specifications. We’ll guide you through each step, advising on the most robust and economical materials to achieve your desired layout while fully complying with building regulations.
We then produce a comprehensive structural design package, including:
-
Detailed technical drawings and specifications ready for Building Control approval
-
A complete set of structural design calculations
-
General arrangement and detail drawings suitable for Local Authority review under Part A (Structure) of the Building Regulations
These documents also serve as clear construction guidance for your contractor, ensuring accuracy and consistency throughout the build.
Once all works have been completed to our satisfaction, BLE will issue a Completion Certificate within 5 working days — a valuable document for your records and a key asset when it comes to selling your property in the future.
