Design & documentation · Nationwide
Changes to loads, supports or an existing structure need a defined technical basis. True North coordinates structural inputs, drawing interfaces and review records with the responsible structural professional.
For owners, project teams and delivery partners nationwide. The written scope identifies True North’s work, the responsible professionals and any separately contracted construction.
Request a project reviewSelect the work and handoff your project needs. The agreement identifies the included deliverables and responsibilities.
Collect existing drawings, field observations, intended loads, geotechnical information and equipment data. Identify conditions needing exposure, survey, testing or specialist investigation before analysis relies on them.
Coordinate the structural design scope for foundations, retaining elements, framing, slabs and building systems. Connect the engineer’s calculations and details with architectural geometry, civil grades and building services.
Address bearing-wall changes, openings, additions, equipment supports, stairs, canopies, connections and delegated components. Establish which professional designs each component and how it attaches to the primary structure.
Coordinate damage assessment, strengthening and repair documents, shoring, underpinning, excavation support and erection or lifting interfaces where included. Temporary works and monitoring require their own responsible technical direction; construction methods remain with the assigned contractor.
You can start with incomplete records. Tell us what is available and what still needs to be established.
Available structural drawings, site access, proposed openings or loads, equipment cut sheets, prior investigation reports and geotechnical records. Identify urgent damage concerns for appropriate professional evaluation.
A coordinated structural input register, agreed design/calculation and drawing package from the responsible professionals, and tracked technical responses within the contracted scope.
Scope and dependencies determine the proposal. No universal price or approval date is assumed.
Review the available records, intended endpoint and authority to use the information. Assign missing inputs, technical decisions and the parties who can authorize changes.
Prepare the included documents from agreed inputs, resolve interfaces with responsible specialists and track revisions. Record external decisions and conditions separately from work prepared for review.
Unknown existing construction, new loads, ground conditions, investigation access, temporary works and changes after the design basis is established.
Provide the controlling documents and remaining-action record. Identify what is accepted, what still requires a decision and what belongs to a separately contracted next stage.
Before you begin
The responsible professional must evaluate the existing load path and proposed change using adequate records and investigation. A sketch or apparent wall thickness is not a substitute for that review.
It can. Provide weights, reactions, attachment details and construction-stage conditions. The scope must identify who evaluates foundations, connections, temporary support and the surrounding structure.
