Hive Structural

James was a pleasure to work with on our listed building in a conservation area and we were really delighted with the personalised and responsive service. Really reliable and prompt with communication, even when we had questions after the work was completed. Worked well with our builder and really went above and beyond. Definitely recommend.

James was great to work with - he was super quick to get back to us and supported us with everything we needed for the assessment of a partition wall we are going to remove.

Came highly recommended by our architects and was quick, cost competitive and accurate. The builders also followed up with him on several questions which he answered in a prompt manner. An excellent engineer who even came to the site on his bicycle.

James is an absolute pleasure to work with on my flat renovations in Edinburgh. As a structural engineer, he combines technical expertise with a practical, solutions-focused approach that makes a huge difference to any project. He’s approachable, professional, and extremely diligent, always taking the time to explain structural considerations clearly and offer well-thought-out options. His reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to high standards give real confidence at every stage of the work. James brings both skill and a positive, collaborative attitude, making even complex projects run smoothly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted and highly capable structural engineer.

We used Hive Structural to advise and design a suitable load bearing beam with drawings for submission for planning. Starting with site visit through to design and supplied drawings the whole process was excellent with good communication.

James has been a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive, prompt to send over the structural drawings and we were very happy with his quality of work. We would highly recommend him to anybody seeking a structural engineer.

We recently worked with James, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. As we had no idea where to begin with the structural side of our renovation, James was incredibly helpful—he gave us clear, professional advice and really pointed us in the right direction. He was prompt in visiting our home, quick to get the drawings submitted, and always responded to emails and questions without delay. His support made the whole process much less stressful. Highly recommend!

James of Hive structual, recently gave some great professional advice regarding a project we are undertaking. He was very accommodating and will be our point of call for anything structual in the future.

James was professional, friendly and thorough and gave us lots of good insights on the day of his visit. The detailed plans arrived very promptly, and James was very communicative with both ourselves and our architect. We also appreciated his recommendation for the opening up works, and the very friendly and efficient contractors who worked with him on the day! Having never undertaken any works before, our experience with James was very reassuring and we would not hesitate to work with him again.

James recently completed my engineering drawings and certification for my house extension. He completed the works extremely promptly, which has enabled me to have the building warrant submission completed without delay. Also James' pricing on these works was very competitive. I would highly recommend James / Hive Structural to anyone requiring these services.
