Within Walter Lilly we have an in-house Engineering Department staffed by Chartered Civil Engineers providing a professional design and technical advisory service.

Our Engineers have extensive design experience in the construction industry, working with both Specialist Contractors and Consulting Structural Engineers. They offer Temporary Works design advice at tender stage, then develop project scheme designs on secured work. This service enables Walter Lilly to understand the technical requirements of projects more fully and provides an invaluable technical interface with our clients' professional team.

As construction projects undertaken by Walter Lilly demand an ever increasing understanding of structural engineering design our in-house services have been developed to meet this need.

Typical services include:

• Engineering advice on tenders to identify construction risks and develop cost effective solutions.
• Temporary Works design services; earthworks support schemes, temporary propping and jacking, façade retention schemes, falsework and scaffolding designs.
• Liaison with external consultants and selection / briefing of specialist subcontractors.
• Technical Specification reviews on all secured new projects.
