Architecture & Building

Cubic Design and Construction is a company that specializes in construction contracts, architectural and structural design, detailing, and project coordination for both commercial and residential buildings.

Architecture

• Conceptual Design: We start with your vision, crafting initial concepts that combine innovative design with practicality.
• Design Development: As your project evolves, we refine our designs, focusing on details and technical aspects to ensure feasibility and compliance.
• Planning and Permissions: Navigating the complexities of planning permissions and regulatory compliance is part of our expertise, ensuring your project proceeds without a hitch.

Structural Services

• Structural Design: This involves the creation of structural plans and designs for residential and commercial buildings. Structural engineers use their expertise to determine the appropriate materials, dimensions, and configurations needed to support the intended loads and withstand environmental forces such as wind, snow, and seismic activity.

• Foundation Design and Inspection: The foundation is crucial for the stability of any structure. Structural engineers assess soil conditions, design appropriate foundation systems (such as shallow or deep foundations, slab-on-grade, or pile foundations), and inspect existing foundations for any signs of damage or weakness.

• Building Inspections: Structural engineers conduct thorough inspections of buildings to assess their structural integrity and identify any defects, damage, or potential risks. These inspections may be required for various purposes, including real estate transactions, insurance claims, or as part of routine maintenance.

• Renovation and Retrofitting: Structural engineers provide expertise in renovating existing structures or retrofitting them to meet current building codes, safety standards, or specific project requirements. This may involve strengthening existing elements, modifying load-bearing walls, or introducing new structural components to accommodate changes in building use or occupancy.

• Structural Analysis and Modeling: Utilizing advanced software tools and engineering principles, structural engineers perform comprehensive analyses and simulations to evaluate the behavior of buildings under different loading conditions. This helps in optimizing structural designs, predicting potential weaknesses, and ensuring structural safety.

• Seismic and Wind Engineering: In regions prone to earthquakes or high winds, specialized expertise in seismic and wind engineering is essential. Structural engineers design buildings to withstand these natural forces by incorporating appropriate structural systems, materials, and construction techniques.

• Construction Support and Supervision: Structural engineers may provide on-site support during the construction phase to ensure that the structural elements are built according to the approved designs and specifications. They may also offer guidance to contractors and construction teams to address any unexpected challenges or deviations from the original plans.

• Specialized Structural Assessments: In addition to general structural services, engineers may offer specialized assessments for specific structural components or systems, such as bridges, retaining walls, towers, or industrial structures.
