Structural Design and Build
Our structural design and build services offer a comprehensive solution from initial concept through to construction. We ensure all our projects comply with the Building Regulations 2010, incorporating best practices from approved documents.

Civil Engineering Design and Construction
We provide civil engineering design and construction services that cover everything from drainage systems to roadworks. Our designs not only meet but often exceed the standards set out in the Building Regulations, ensuring your project is executed to the highest standards. We pay special attention to the technical requirements related to sanitation, drainage, and waste disposal systems as detailed in Part H of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations.
Foundation Engineering and Construction
Specializing in foundation engineering, we ensure that every foundation we design and build complies with the relevant sections of the Building Regulations. This includes compliance with structural safety guidelines, appropriate use of materials, and adherence to approved construction practices. Our experience ensures that your building’s foundation will be robust and durable, supporting the structure effectively under all conditions.
Retaining Wall Design and Build
Our retaining wall design and build services focus on providing stability to your landscape projects while complying with all necessary safety regulations. We take into account the necessary tolerances, as well as the use of materials that meet the Building Regulations standards. Whether it’s a small garden wall or a large commercial installation, our team ensures that every retaining wall we design and build is safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing.
Underpinning Design and Execution
Underpinning is critical for enhancing the structural integrity of existing buildings. Our underpinning services are designed to comply with the requirements set out in Regulation 3(1)(f) of the Building Regulations, ensuring that any alterations or enhancements do not compromise the safety or stability of your structure. We utilize proven techniques and high-quality materials to provide lasting solutions for your building’s foundation.

We offer specialized services in the design and construction of steel, timber, and concrete structures. Our work complies with all relevant standards and regulations, including those for fire safety, structural integrity, and material quality. From residential to commercial projects, our expert team ensures that your structures are built to last, with meticulous attention to detail and adherence to regulatory requirements.
Our Process: From Concept to Construction
At EMA Structures, we follow a structured yet flexible process to deliver safe, efficient, and buildable structural and civil engineering solutions. Whether we're brought in by a private client, developer, or main contractor, we ensure every stage is handled with technical precision and practical awareness.
01
Consultation & Site Review
We begin by understanding your requirements and constraints. This may involve a site visit, review of planning drawings, or initial coordination with the design team.
02
Engineering Design
Our structural and civil engineers produce tailored design solutions — from structural layouts and calculations to drainage systems and foundations — ensuring compliance with UK Building Regulations.
03
Construction & Delivery
Where needed, we take responsibility for executing the structural elements ourselves — such as mezzanine floors, retaining walls, basements, or underpinning — using our trusted teams and site supervisors.
04
Handover or Integration
We complete our scope and either hand over to the main contractor or continue collaborating as part of the wider delivery team, ensuring a smooth transition and minimal disruption on-site.
