Commercial Structural Engineering in St Albans
Reliable structural solutions for commercial developments across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire
At Hertfordshire Structural Engineers, we specialise in delivering professional structural engineering services for commercial projects of all sizes. Based in St Albans, our team works with developers, architects and business owners to design safe, cost-effective and practical buildings that stand the test of time.
Whether you’re planning a new office building, retail unit, warehouse, industrial space or leisure facility, we’re here to help bring your vision to life. We combine technical knowledge with real-world experience to create tailored structural designs that meet the unique demands of each commercial site.
Steel-Framed Commercial Buildings – Safe, Efficient and Built to Last
Many commercial premises require large open spaces without internal columns – ideal for storage, machinery, or public footfall. Our team specialises in the design of steel portal frames and large-span structures, delivering open-plan layouts that maximise usable floor space.
Every steel frame is different, and we carefully assess its purpose, environment and loading requirements. Using 3D modelling and advanced calculations, we create structures that are strong, efficient, and compliant with current regulations – all while keeping your project on budget.
The safe design, assembly and ongoing performance of your building starts with the right engineering input. Our qualified engineers ensure that every element – from materials to fixings – is correctly specified from the outset.

Commercial Structural Design for All Industries
We have years of experience working across a wide variety of commercial and public sector buildings, including:
From early design advice to detailed calculations, we offer a complete structural consultancy service that helps commercial projects progress smoothly and safely.
Smart, Buildable Designs – Built Around Your Needs
Our approach is always tailored and practical. We work closely with architects and contractors to design structures that are not only safe and regulation-compliant but also buildable and cost-effective.
Even when construction challenges arise, our team is known for finding creative, engineering-led solutions that meet deadlines and stay within budget.
