Welcome to Affinity Structures
I created Affinity Structures through a desire to offer a personal design consultancy service, giving sound, reliable and honest advice to unlock the potential of projects, both simple and complex.
Since graduating from Cambridge University, I have worked continuously in the construction industry, gaining Chartered Structural Engineer status in 2000. My experience has covered a wide variety of building projects across all market sectors. These include new builds and refurbishments in contemporary and historic buildings as well as special one-off design projects, creating new products or assisting artists. Project size has ranged from domestic extensions to multi-million-pound developments, utilising all common structural materials and many modern methods of construction. I have been lucky enough to be a part of some award-winning projects, with talented industry colleagues and inspirational clients.
​​
I pride myself on being able to add value through the delivery of well-considered, efficient and effective engineering solutions, whether working directly for clients or supporting consultants and other construction industry professionals, as a trusted additional independent resource or reviewer.
​
My problem-solving skills and experience, combined with my rigorous approach, have led me to be well known in the industry for finding the way to the heart of the matter and coming up with simple practical solutions.
​
I carry comprehensive Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance to enable me to work directly for public and private sector clients.
