# Anthony Dring - Structural Engineer and Building Consultant
Anthony Dring is a Cardiff-based structural engineering practice specialising in residential and commercial projects across South Wales and Greater Bristol. Founded in 2002 by Cardiff University civil engineering graduate Anthony Dring, the firm has evolved from general construction design and management into a focused consultancy delivering structural expertise to private clients.
The practice serves homeowners, developers and property investors requiring structural solutions for renovation, extension and new build projects. Whether clients need to remove a load-bearing wall, convert a loft, create open-plan living spaces or assess building condition, Anthony Dring provides tailored engineering design and detailed structural reports.
What distinguishes this practice is its combination of technical rigour and practical problem-solving. Rather than applying generic approaches, Anthony Dring develops cost-effective solutions tailored to specific project requirements. The business handles everything from initial structural surveys and condition assessments through to detailed design, building regulation approvals and remedial recommendations. Their expertise spans structural steel, timber, masonry and concrete design, alongside specialist areas including foundation assessment, retaining walls and timber frame design.
With over two decades' experience and deep knowledge of Welsh building regulations, the firm bridges the gap between architect/designer aspirations and engineering reality. This client-focused approach—combined with the principal's hands-on involvement—ensures projects receive expert guidance from conception through completion.
