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.

Sectors We Serve
Over the past 30 years, we’ve been involved a wide variety of projects from up to £20 million in value to £20! Our innovative approach as thinking engineers means we can apply our experience and add value to most sectors, taking best practice approaches from one sector and applying it to another.
Structural Reports
Our Engineers evaluate problems and establish solutions. Our reports are the result of a detailed and comprehensive review. Our Engineers will review complex information and all factors determining strength, condition, durability and most importantly, safety. 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.
