At IE Engineering, we’re proud of the heritage sown into the bricks (or stone) and mortar of North Wales and see ourselves as guardians of architectural preservation to maintain the distinctive characteristics of buildings in the region.

To ensure the lasting legacy of North Wales’ architectural integrity and character we approach renovations to heritage and listed buildings with a low-impact and non-intrusive plan of structural engineering solutions.

Restoring historical buildings is a delicate process with each building telling a story. Our focus for aiding renovation projects in North Wales is to ensure those stories endure through careful preservation, repair and intervention in low-impact procedures.

As experts in listed building conservation we understand the intricate balance between preservation and modernisation. Our approach is a meticulous blend of tradition and innovation, ensuring that the soul of the building remains intact while adapting to contemporary needs.

In projects where the structural integrity of the building is a concern, we conduct thorough monitoring to ensure we clarify the differences between historic and contemporary movements prior to addressing the building’s fabric.

For a comprehensive understanding of the project’s needs, we may conduct a building survey through our structural engineers. This can help to identify urgent issues versus lower-impact advisories and mitigate the need for costly repairs later in the building’s lifetime.

"When it comes to historical or listed buildings, choosing the right structural engineer is important. The task of preserving these structures goes beyond technical know-how; it requires understanding of their importance to the area. As structural engineers based in North Wales, we see every restoration project as an opportunity to breathe life into our past with precision, respect, and an unwavering dedication to preserving our architectural heritage."

Renovating your historical building, whether for a commercial or domestic purpose, is not something we do in isolation. We collaborate closely with your architects, builders, and conservation professionals to safeguard the unique character of heritage buildings.

Together we carefully provide traditional building restoration support, including understanding the nuances of timber frame buildings and the intricacies of timber design. Our dedication to nurturing traditional structures ensures that every restoration project is authentic and sustainable.
