As structural engineers it is important that we are at the forefront of developments and innovations within the built environment including the need to be aware of the challenges and wider considerations associated with projects.

Structural engineers need to consider and understand the buildability of their designs, ensuring that the structures can be built and maintained, considering the potential for their future modifications and dismantling for re-use at the end of their useful life to ensure that the structures we design today meet the needs of society now and in the future.
