Abacus Design work closely with local authorities providing new libraries and community buildings. Starting with the architect’s conceptual designs, we produce calculations and drawings for the contractor. Of great importance is the full interaction between design team members to ensure that the client’s requirements are met.

We can provide design calculations and sketches for alterations, extensions, renovations, removal of load bearing walls and loft conversions. Often needed in a hurry, this work can be commissioned either directly by the building’s owners or through an architect or project manager. We can also provide a structural survey service.

Abacus Design prepare foul and storm water drainage design for many projects. Our previous designs have included private drainage within new sites and connections into existing public sewerage systems, into soakaways or into temporary storage areas. Often, we are required to liaise with the local water authorities so as to obtain sewer adoption by the local authority.
