Improved Design Efficiency Involving a structural engineer early in your construction project in Kenya improves precision, constructability, and cost efficiency. Late involvement often results in impractical spans, poor column layouts, and expensive redesigns. Early collaboration ensures accurate load paths, optimized structural systems, and smooth coordination between architectural and structural designs.
Optimized Cost and Schedule Early structural input enables performance-based design, efficient material use, and realistic scheduling—reducing delays, overdesign, and costly on-site changes. Studies show that solving issues during design is up to ten times cheaper than during construction. With BIM technology, coordination improves, RFIs reduce, and approvals are faster.
Enhanced Constructability and Sustainability Structural engineers simplify construction, align grids with standard materials, and promote sustainable, low-carbon design solutions.
At Recon Engineering International, early structural involvement ensures safer, faster, and more cost-effective construction across Kenya
