Service 02 · Structural Design & Calculations

Structural design that turns an architectural vision into a buildable, code-compliant structure.

Structural design takes the outcome of structural analysis and translates it into sized beams, columns, slabs, and foundations — the actual blueprint a contractor builds from. Fermium's structural design service delivers fully calculated, drawing-ready structural packages for new builds, extensions, and renovations, engineered to satisfy UAE building codes without compromising the architectural intent.

What's Included

What a Fermium structural design package includes

Structural design is where engineering judgment meets buildability. Our engineers size every structural element — beams, columns, slabs, footings, and connections — to carry the loads identified in structural analysis, while keeping construction practical and cost-efficient for the UAE market.


We coordinate directly with architects and MEP consultants to resolve clashes before they reach site, and every design package is delivered with calculations formatted for Dubai Municipality, DCD, Trakhees, or Abu Dhabi DMT submission — so your structural drawings and your approval documentation are never out of sync.

Element Sizing

Beam, Column & Slab Design

Precise sizing of every structural element based on load requirements, material efficiency, and constructability.

Foundation Design

Footing & Foundation Design

Foundation systems designed to match soil conditions and superstructure loads for your specific site.

Connection Design

Structural Connection Detailing

Detailed connection design between structural elements, critical for both safety and constructability.

Coordination

Architectural & MEP Coordination

Structural design coordinated against architectural and MEP layouts to resolve clashes before construction.

Material Optimization

Cost-Efficient Material Use

Design decisions balanced between structural safety and material efficiency to control project cost.

Documentation

Construction-Ready Drawings

Structural drawings and calculation sets delivered ready for both construction and authority submission.

Common Questions

Structural design — frequently asked

Do you design in coordination with my architect?

Yes — coordination with your architect and MEP consultant is standard on every structural design engagement, to keep the structural system aligned with the architectural intent.

Can you redesign an existing structural scheme?

Yes. We regularly take over or revise structural designs from other consultants, particularly where a project has stalled at authority review.

Is structural design included with structural analysis?

They're related but separate services. Many clients commission both together; we'll scope exactly what your project needs during the initial consultation.

What happens if the authority requests changes to the design?

We remain engaged through the approval process and revise the structural design and documentation in response to authority comments at no surprise cost, as agreed in the original scope.
