OUR SERVICES

Structural Design and Analysis

Our team excels in providing comprehensive structural design and analysis services. We leverage advanced software tools and methodologies to calculate and predict structural loads, stress points, and integrity over time. We ensure your structures are optimized for performance, safety, and durability while complying with all relevant codes and standards.

Construction Support and Supervision

We offer extensive construction support and supervision services to ensure seamless execution of your projects. Our experts oversee the on-site implementation of designs, monitoring quality, adherence to plans, and ensuring the correct usage of materials. Our vigilant oversight minimizes risks, prevents delays, and ensures the longevity of your structures.

Seismic Retrofitting and Rehabilitation

Given the increasing need for structures to withstand seismic activities, our team specializes in seismic retrofitting and rehabilitation. We evaluate existing structures, identify their vulnerabilities, and provide custom solutions to enhance their seismic resilience. Our goal is to safeguard lives and investments by strengthening buildings against potential earthquake damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between architectural and structural design?

Architectural design focuses on the aesthetic and functional aspects of a building, whereas structural design ensures the stability and safety of the building. It involves determining the correct materials, sizes, and configurations of structural elements to withstand the loads and forces it will encounter.

How do you ensure my building will withstand seismic activity?

We specialize in seismic retrofitting and rehabilitation. Using advanced analysis tools, we assess the building’s capacity to withstand seismic forces, identify vulnerabilities, and provide design solutions to enhance seismic resilience, ensuring your structure is prepared for potential earthquake events.

What are the key considerations in load-bearing design?

Load-bearing design involves considering live loads (people, furniture), dead loads (weight of the structure itself), and environmental loads (wind, snow, seismic). We use advanced software to calculate these loads, ensuring your structure is designed to withstand them safely and effectively.

What materials do you typically work with in your designs?

We work with a variety of materials, including but not limited to steel, concrete, timber, and composite materials. The choice depends on several factors such as the purpose of the structure, the local environment, and sustainability considerations.

How do you incorporate sustainability in your structural designs?

Sustainability is a core value at Building In Motion. We strive to use materials and design techniques that minimize environmental impact. This can involve using recycled or renewable materials, optimizing designs for energy efficiency, or even planning for deconstruction and recycling at the end of the building’s life.
