MESH Consulting Engineers

MESH Consulting Engineers is a structural engineering consultancy working in Bristol, Bath and the wider South West. Its managing director is a Conservation Accredited Engineer, and much of the practice’s work involves traditional materials and historic or listed buildings. On these jobs it looks at how a building was originally made before deciding how it should be repaired. Services include feasibility and concept design, full technical design, structural inspections and assessments, advice during construction, and civils, drainage and geotechnical input. The team also deals with dangerous structures after fire, impact or structural failure. The firm favours reusing existing structures and lower-impact materials where it can. It works on civic, institutional, commercial and residential projects, including barn conversions, and publishes guidance notes for clients.
