# AO Consulting Engineers
AO Consulting Engineers is a Exeter-based structural engineering practice led by Chartered Structural Engineer Andrew Oliver, who brings over 15 years of experience across diverse construction sectors and materials. The firm operates throughout the South West, providing comprehensive structural engineering solutions to homeowners, property developers and commercial clients undertaking everything from modest domestic alterations to substantial residential and commercial developments.
The practice distinguishes itself through its commitment to hands-on expertise—all projects are personally undertaken by fully qualified Chartered Structural Engineers rather than delegated to junior staff. This approach ensures consistent quality and deep technical knowledge applied to each commission.
AO-Eng's portfolio demonstrates considerable versatility. Recent projects include timber and steel frame new builds with ICF basements, multiple barn conversions featuring steel frames and raft foundations, basement and lower ground floor insertions, listed building restoration work, and complex interventions such as complete load-bearing wall removal requiring sophisticated steel frame solutions. The firm equally handles straightforward assignments including loft conversions, extensions and foundations.
Their service range encompasses structural surveys, Class Q and Planning survey reports, Building Control calculations, bespoke steelwork design, masonry, concrete and timber engineering, and full structural drawings. This breadth allows AO-Eng to guide clients through every stage of structural planning and delivery, from initial assessment through detailed design to final certification.
