We pride ourselves on our pragmatic and down to earth approach to unlocking the potential around complex civil & structural design solutions.
Whether working with developers, contractors or other stakeholders we understand the key issues required to unlock the potential in buildings, often having a significant impact on scheme viability. We work with teams to develop these solutions into successful, profitable projects across numerous sectors.
Roscoe provides comprehensive detailed design services that take projects from concept through to construction. Working closely with contractors and project teams, we deliver practical, buildable engineering solutions that support efficient procurement, minimize site risk and keep projects moving.
Our experience during the construction phase allows us to produce coordinated, construction-ready information that responds to programme requirements and evolving site conditions. We understand the importance of clear communication, fast turnaround times and designs that can be delivered safely and efficiently on site.
Using BIM workflows, we develop intelligent 3D models that improve coordination between disciplines, identify clashes early and provide accurate information for fabrication and construction. For reinforced concrete structures, we produce detailed RC drawings, schedules and reinforcement information to facilitate accurate installation.
Tall buildings demand a considered approach to structural design. At Roscoe, we work with clients, architects and contractors to develop efficient structural solutions that balance performance, buildability and cost from the earliest stages of a project through to construction.
Finite element analysis is central to the way we design. By building detailed analytical models, we gain a better understanding of how a structure behaves, allowing us to refine the design, reduce unnecessary material and make informed engineering decisions. The result is a structure that works harder with less, delivering value without compromising performance.
We believe good engineering is about more than calculations. It is about understanding how a building will be built, coordinating with the wider design team and finding practical solutions to complex challenges. Whether it’s a residential tower, commercial development or mixed-use scheme, our focus is on delivering efficient, well-engineered structures that stand up to both technical scrutiny and the realities of construction.
Roscoe has extensive experience in the design and detailing of fully precast and hybrid structural systems, as well as precast façade solutions. We work closely with many of the leading precast manufacturers to develop designs that are practical to manufacture, transport and install.
Our understanding of the precast industry allows us to design with the realities of production and construction in mind. From early concept design through to detailed connection design and erection support, we focus on creating efficient structural solutions that make the most of off-site manufacture while meeting the demands of the project.
Whether delivering a fully precast frame, a hybrid structure combining different materials, or a complex architectural façade, our approach is based on collaboration, technical rigour and practical engineering.
The introduction of the Building Safety Act has changed the way that high-risk buildings are designed, procured and delivered. For clients and design teams, Gateway 2 has introduced a greater emphasis on demonstrating that a building has been properly designed, coordinated and can be constructed in compliance with the Building Regulations before work begins on site.
Roscoe has successfully supported a number of projects through the Gateway 2 process, working alongside clients, principal designers, architects and the wider design team to prepare coordinated structural information that meets the requirements of the submission. We work collaboratively to identify and resolve issues early, helping to reduce delays and give clients confidence that their project is ready for submission.
As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, we remain committed to delivering practical engineering solutions that support compliance without losing sight of programme, buildability and project objectives.
Understanding the ground is fundamental to good structural design. At Roscoe, we provide geotechnical engineering services that help identify site constraints early and develop practical foundation solutions that are appropriate for the conditions on site.
We undertake both Phase I desk studies and Phase II ground investigations, giving clients a clear understanding of ground conditions, geotechnical risks and any constraints that could influence the design or construction of a project. By gathering the right information at the right stage, we help reduce uncertainty and support informed design decisions.
Using the findings from our investigations, we develop efficient foundation solutions that respond to the specific conditions of each site. Whether dealing with poor ground, made ground, high groundwater levels or other challenging conditions, we work to find practical and economical solutions that are straightforward to construct.
By combining geotechnical and structural expertise within the same team, we can coordinate the design from the ground up, reducing unnecessary complexity and helping projects move forward with confidence.
We design foul and surface water drainage systems for a wide range of developments, considering capacity, buildability and long-term maintenance from the outset. Working closely with local authorities and utility providers, we develop drainage strategies that respond to the specific requirements of each site.
Managing surface water is an important part of creating resilient and sustainable developments. At Roscoe, we design below ground drainage systems and Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) that manage runoff effectively while meeting planning requirements and supporting practical, buildable solutions. From attenuation systems and permeable paving to swales, basins and other sustainable drainage features, we look for practical ways to reduce runoff and improve the performance of a site.
Where flood risk is a consideration, we prepare Flood Risk Assessments and drainage strategies that satisfy planning requirements and help clients understand the opportunities and constraints of their site. By combining technical analysis with a practical understanding of development, we deliver solutions that manage flood risk, support sustainable drainage and help projects progress through the planning process.
Establishing the right site levels from the outset can have a significant impact on the cost and buildability of a development. At Roscoe, we use 3D modelling to assess existing ground conditions and develop site level strategies that balance earthworks, drainage requirements and the wider design.
Our cut and fill analysis helps clients understand how material can be managed across a site, reducing the need to import or export fill wherever possible. By carefully refining proposed levels, we can minimize earthworks, improve drainage and create practical development platforms that work for both the design and the construction process.
Working closely with architects, planners and the wider project team, we ensure site levels are coordinated with access, drainage, retaining structures and finished floor levels from an early stage. This integrated approach helps identify potential issues before construction begins and supports more efficient, cost-effective project delivery.
Whether supporting a planning application or developing a detailed engineering design, we provide clear, coordinated information that helps clients make informed decisions and deliver sites that are practical to build.
We design highways, access roads, junctions and parking layouts for a wide range of developments, ensuring they are fully coordinated with the wider civil engineering design. From the early planning stages through to detailed design, we work closely with clients and design teams to develop solutions that are practical to construct and straightforward to deliver.
Vehicle tracking is an important part of our design process. Using 3D modelling and swept path analysis, we assess how vehicles move through a site, ensuring that everything from refuse vehicles and emergency services to delivery lorries can access and manoeuvre safely.
Identifying potential issues early allows us to refine layouts, improve efficiency and avoid costly design changes later in the project.
Our aim is to provide coordinated, practical highways designs that support successful planning applications, efficient construction and developments that function well for the people who use them every day.
