TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES
When you design garden rooms, annexes, or other outbuildings, it’s easy to overlook the technical aspects. They are, however, vital for safety, functionality, and compliance with building regulations – and the overall success of a project.
Mitigate the possibility of structural failure and additional costs, delays, and reputational damage. Address, manage, and execute technical and engineering issues from the outset. ANX carries out appraisals, surveys, and calculations and ensures technical drawings are drawn up expertly and correctly for your designs.


TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS FOR GARDEN ROOM AND ANNEXE SUPPLIERS
Our qualified structural engineers can give you an expert assessment of your design plans and survey existing buildings. Our services include formal loading assessments, general arrangement drawings, surveys, and structural engineering calculations and design. Without these, you could risk structural integrity, safety, building regulations compliance, and long-term durability.
We’ll advise you on how to find the most financially rewarding solutions for difficult, elevated, and uneven sites. We can advise on and prepare bespoke structural engineering designs and calculations regardless of whether your structure is timber frame, steel frame, brick, or uses structural insulated panels (SIPs). We also offer professional measured surveys for drainage and other site conditions.
OUTBUILDING TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING EXPERTS
Embarking on annexe-building projects without all the technical information you need is a risk. And if the information you have access to has not been produced by an expert team and a qualified structural engineer with extensive experience, the advice you are taking could cost you. Time, money, and reputation.
ANX’s technical and engineering experts will advise and inform and offer solutions that can unlock even greater value and protect you from risk and compliance issues. With ANX you can be sure you are taking advice from qualified, accredited professionals who work with integrity.
