# StructureMode Description
StructureMode is a London-based structural engineering practice offering investigation, inspection and design services to residential, commercial, arts and humanitarian sectors. Led by Founding Director Geoff Morrow, who brings 31 years of specialist expertise, the practice has deliberately scaled to enable direct involvement of its principal on every project.
The company diagnoses complex structural problems in buildings ranging from Victorian terraced houses to large commercial developments. Beyond straightforward visual inspections, they investigate hidden causes through opening-up works, geotechnical surveys, drainage investigations, material testing and movement monitoring. This diagnostic depth distinguishes them from generalist surveyors.
StructureMode moves beyond problem-solving into proactive design: viability assessments determine whether existing structures can support additional storeys; concept designs develop efficient structural solutions that integrate with architecture whilst minimising cost and embodied carbon; and client design advisor services support larger public and private projects. They also undertake bespoke work—designing complex geometries for public artworks, staircases, temporary pavilions and specialist furniture.
Their approach balances thoroughness with pragmatism. Rather than over-specifying investigations, they recognise that structural problems often have multiple hidden causes requiring targeted investigation. This prevents unnecessary expense whilst ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective solutions.
The practice operates outside standard VAT structures and maintains accessibility through transparent fee examples, making specialist structural engineering advice obtainable for smaller projects.
