A typical commission may include skills from all of the above. We often provide a complete service from targeting and tracking proposed contracts, through estimating and winning schemes, site remeasurement, planning and programming, progress monitoring and settlement of the final account. We are always interested to hear from engineers and quantity surveyors looking to work with us either full/part time or freelance.

From a new support beam required to allow for the removal of a wall to a portal frame for an individual building, from modifications to a roof for a new dormer window to a steel and pre-cast concrete frame for high rise buildings and reinforced concrete raft foundations - Schofields EQS has the experience and a range of computer aided design applications to provide the best design solution.

Working closely with the client and his architects, Oaktree Architectural, we were asked to design the supports for a new first floor loft conversion.
The existing structure was unsuitable for the new arrangements and several internal walls were also planned to be removed.
We were able to analyse the structure and propose four new large steel frames to provide support and openness for the client's new rooms.
We were also able to tie this into the opening up of the ground floor whilst maintaining the stability of the property.

We were initially called to this site to check the temporary supports that had been installed to prevent any further movement of a flat roof and roof lantern in this listed building which had sagged and was leaking whenever it rained.
Investigation showed cracked structural timbers with limited historical repairs and wet rot.
Working with the conservation officer, owners and their builder we opened up sections of the roof and internal structure to determine the full extent of the roof and ceiling supports and their condition.

In this case a builder that we had worked with before called us in to look at opening up the rear space to a grade I listed building.
Here we were asked to remove as many internal walls as possible to create as large as possible area.
We surveyed the site and produced existing drawings, then liaising with the conservation officer for the interaction of the new frame and the listed areas we produced a scheme to remove most of internal supports whilst maintaining the stability of the whole structure.

Asked to review the proposed demolition and rebuild of an existing steel framed building, we surveyed and modelled the building using our structural software.
We were able to show that the existing frame could be reused with minor modifications to the frame and the layout of the interior.
This reduced the cost of the works to a viable level for the client who then instructed the contractor to commence work.
Our involvement continued with us completing the full design of the structure including the strengthening work to the existing frame, the new steelwork to support the second floor and roof, upgrading the foundations, and the masonry wall panels.
