Welcome to Our Web Site

Recognising that there was real a need for a practical and personal approach to Consulting Structural Engineering and that there was a client requirement for one office to be able to deal with masonry, timber, steel and reinforced concrete, DCS Associates was born.

 
 

Our office is set up to deal with a very large range of work from loft conversions to multistorey, multi-million pound contracts and we have considerable experience in building defects/insurance claims.

We have a state of the art analysis and design computer suite of programmes and produce our drawings on AutoCAD, the leading computer aided drawing system.

Although Local Authorities do not recommend Consulting Engineers, we are invited to advertise in Bristol, Bath and South Gloucestershire Building Control's Handbooks. Before the demise of Wansdyke Council, we had been used as their Checking Engineers for structural matters.

  DCS Associates Consulting Structural Engineers was started in 1985 by Keith Rayford who has remained the Principal. Having gained experience initially on site as a site engineer, he moved to Arups Consulting Engineers in London, then onto Parsons Brown and Mander Raikes & Marshall Consulting Engineers in Bristol.

We are proud of our reputation of being professional, practical people, competent in all four major structural materials

 

Structural Alterations Single beams through to major works for shops, factories etc.
Factories From small to large portal frames and multi-storey.
 
  Offices Multi storey reinforced concrete/steel/masonry frames.  
  Foundations Reinforced concrete, rafts, piling, deep basements.  
  Domestic Houses From simple wall removal, loft conversions, extensions through to complete housing e.g. 'A' frames, poor or varied ground conditions.
