The structural engineer role in the local industry
As a Perit in Malta, we are probably used to taking on a dual role of both architect and structural engineer. If so, we are likely wondering why it’s necessary to bring in a third-party specialist to fill in part of this role.
In recent years, the construction industry in Malta has grown significantly. Investors are now looking at multi-million projects leading to an increase in the complexity of design and execution.
This is where a dedicated team of structural engineers come into. Such expertise is critical to deliver projects on time and within budget. Due diligence is key to deliver a piece of mind to clients, architects, contractors, and occupants. We thrive to deliver professional structural engineering services and meet all the demands to carry out exceptional successfully construction projects.
From our experience, bringing a specialist to focus on structural engineering and allowing the architect to focus on architecture could significantly shorten the project lifecycle. It can also relieve the burden on architects and, ultimately, improve the quality of the final product.
For example, the manufacturing, maritime/aviation, power generation/renewable energy, telecommunication/ICT, education/visual arts and healthcare/sport industries may require the expertise of a structural engineer to analyse any structural concern/detailing and to propose the best and safest solutions.
Outsourcing a structural engineer will leave that huge chunk of the project in the hands of an expert who will purely focus on that aspect, giving all stakeholders an extra layer of peace of mind about the safety of the project from start to finish. The bonus of working with Structure Studios is that our expertise lies in both structural engineering as well as architecture, which allows us to work seamlessly with the project architect and speak the same language.
