We worked closely with the architect, steelwork supplier, contractor and client to progress the project proactively, commencing the works after an initial site appraisal which identified different construction methods and materials which had been used.

The Griffin Inn, a building steeped in history, presented a unique set of structural challenges. The varying thicknesses, construction methods, and materials employed over time required a comprehensive understanding of the building's fabric. Our engineers conducted a thorough structural assessment to identify potential constraints and opportunities for the proposed alterations.

The project involved a delicate balance of preserving the building's character while introducing modern amenities. Our team designed structural solutions to accommodate new openings, support increased loads fand reinforce existing elements to meet contemporary standards. The complexity of the building necessitated innovative approaches to ensure the structural stability of the building throughout the renovation process.

By carefully analysing the existing structure and applying our expertise in structural engineering, we were able to create a safe and functional environment for the refurbished gastro pub. Our work on The Griffin Inn is a testament to our ability to deliver tailored solutions for historic buildings, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering principles.

The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, where the building's heritage is celebrated while providing a contemporary and comfortable space for people to enjoy.
