Alexander Scott Consulting Engineers Ltd. is a progressive, structural and civil engineering design practice. We are dedicated to innovation, continuous improvement and excellence, both in design and in service to clients.

Our core business is the design of an extremely wide range of structures. In addition, our civil engineering experience involves primarily roads and drainage projects.

Steelwork dominates the structural frame market today and we have earned a reputation for economic, speedy and practical design of steel frameworks. Unusually amongst consulting engineers, we view the design of joints to be an essential and integral part of steel frame design and carry out all joint design in-house. We regularly provide design backup to steel fabricators.

We have current Civil & Structural Engineering job vacancies in Scotland UK, check the vacancies page to view them.

Timber frame technology accounts for a large proportion of new house construction in Scotland. We regularly undertake structural design and detailing of timber frame houses as well as larger structures on behalf of private clients, architects and timber frame contractors.
Our structural design services also include advice on concrete and masonry structures and materials. A major part of our practice is concerned with the inspection, appraisal, repair and alteration of existing, traditional and listed structures. Our approach is based on first developing a comprehensive understanding of an existing building's structural behaviour before developing appropriate methods of repair and modification.
We have provided advice on a wide range of structures from private houses to large hotels, mills and bridges.Ground investigation, it is said, is like quality - you pay for it whether you have any or not! An understanding of the behaviour of soils and the risk presented by hazards such as mineral instability and contamination is an essential part of the engineering design process. We believe that full integration of the soil investigation process, foundation and earthworks design and supervision during construction is essential to a successful outcome in this field. Consequently, we offer all these services under one roof.

Our recent projects have included healthcare, commercial, leisure, housing, civil engineering projects and facade engineering. We also offer a variety of ancillary services such as SAP Energy ratings, topographical surveys, planning supervision as required under the CDM regulations and advice on health and safety, particularly when the issues involved are structural.
