Residential Engineering Projects: Building Homes on Solid Foundations
Designing safe and sustainable homes requires deep expertise in residential structural and civil engineering. From small private dwellings to large social housing projects, engineers must be versatile in providing the right solutions. JMS Engineers excels in residential projects, ensuring that every house, apartment block or housing development rests on solid engineering principles. We work on private residential builds as well as affordable housing schemes, delivering structural designs and civil infrastructure that meet both building regulations and the client’s vision. Our engineers handle everything from initial site surveys and foundation design to superstructure framing and final inspections.
Key residential engineering services we provide include:
Foundation & Structural Frame Design
Site Drainage & SuDS
Home Renovations & Extensions

We regularly support projects in Ipswich, helping developers and homeowners design structures that are both compliant and cost-effective.
Commercial & Industrial Projects: Robust Designs for Business and Industry
