# Precisian – Structural Engineering
Precisian is a structural engineering practice based in Bath that specialises in bespoke design solutions for architecturally ambitious projects. Their portfolio demonstrates expertise across residential, heritage, educational and leisure sectors, working collaboratively with architects and specialist engineers to realise complex structural concepts.
The practice serves architects, private clients and institutions seeking structural engineering that responds to distinctive design challenges. Their projects often involve listed buildings, constrained sites or innovative structural forms that demand creative problem-solving rather than conventional approaches.
What distinguishes Precisian is their integration of advanced analysis with crafted detailing. They employ complete 3D finite element modelling to validate sophisticated designs—such as the flitched timber frames and cantilevering reinforced concrete walls featured in their work—then translate these into carefully considered construction details. Their approach to heritage projects, particularly refurbishment of Georgian and Victorian properties, balances conservation principles with contemporary comfort.
The practice demonstrates particular strengths in timber engineering, reinforced concrete design, and sensitive interventions to listed structures. They work at scales ranging from intimate cottage extensions to substantial institutional buildings, and show facility with unconventional geometries—curved roofs, radial grids, tapered stone walls—without compromising structural integrity or buildability.
Precisian's collaborative methodology, combining rigorous analysis with architectural vision, appeals to practices and clients who reject standardised solutions and expect structural engineering to enhance rather than compromise design intent.
