Our Services

Civil & Structural Engineering

Engineering Innovation is at the heart of our approach to structural engineering.  Shire were formed during 1988 in the belief that many clients were dissatisfied with the traditional reactive response of some Engineers.  Shire aim to have an active involvement in projects, making recommendations where we see more effective solutions. We have gained a reputation for being ‘Thinking Engineers’ which has led to varied workload in the Civil, Structural, Highways, Aerospace, Education and Rail sectors.

We have received numerous awards for design and innovation. Recent awards for building design include the 2013 RIBA West Midlands Award for the Michael Baker Boathouse, King’s School, 2013 RIBA North East Award for Yarm School Auditorium, the 2013 RIBA West Midlands Award for St Georges Primary School & 3 RIBA West Midlands Awards in 2018 for Old Court House, Worcestershire.

Structural Reports

Structural Reports

Our Engineers evaluate problems and establish solutions. Our reports are the result of a detailed and comprehensive review.

The report gives a clear view on the existing situation along with advice on possible approaches or next steps as required. We pride ourselves on using straightforward, understandable language with no jargon.
