Twenty-eight questions, grouped by discipline — the ones that come up in every kick-off, from whether an existing design can be strengthened to what BIM coordination actually saves. Each answer is written the way we would give it standing at the table above: short, specific, and with the caveat an engineer would actually add.

Something missing? The last entry on the sheet is ours: call or WhatsApp, and an engineer — not a call script — picks it up.

Everything clients usually ask.

Pick a category to jump straight to the answers you need.

Yes — we perform independent design reviews, second opinions and targeted strengthening schemes: jacketing, CFRP wrapping or steel bracing where the original design falls short.

Every structural calculation is vetted by an MIEB-chartered senior structural engineer — that senior sign-off is what makes our submissions defensible before RAJUK, RSC and international audit teams.

Our engineers work in ETABS, SAFE, STAAD and IDEA/RSTAB-class tools. Deliverables are PDF plus native models on request.

Absolutely — we frequently wrap architectural and structural design around equipment layouts supplied by your process or machinery vendors.

Clashes between structure, ducts, pipes and cables are resolved on the model instead of on site — avoiding change orders, rework and programme slip during construction.

Concept packages include massing models. Photorealistic exterior and interior renders are quoted per project when needed for marketing or approvals.

Yes — see our Solar & Renewable Energy discipline. The roof structure provision, inverter rooms, cabling routes and grid-tie protection are designed as one package.

We supervise testing and commissioning, review contractor test reports and sign off the energisation checklist.

Infrared scans catch hidden electrical hotspots and phase unbalances before they cause catastrophic fires or unplanned industrial shutdowns — most clients run them annually.

Yes — we convert audit findings into a prioritised remediation design and support re-inspection until closure.

It depends on occupancy, buyer requirements and authority. We map your obligations across BNBC 2020 Part 4, the NFPA set and DIFE mandates in one strategy report.

It documents exactly what happens when a detector activates — alarm zones, fan shutdowns, door releases — so commissioning and audits have a single testable reference.

Yes — we audit the existing process, model the capacity gap and design biological, chemical or membrane upgrades, often cutting operating cost by up to 25%.

We prepare the complete consent package — process flow diagrams, designs and ECR 2023 documentation — and follow it through to clearance.

We design the civil works, hydraulics and process interfaces, and coordinate specialist mechanical vendors where proprietary equipment is required.

In Bangladesh conditions, roughly 650,000 kWh per year — a payback typically under four years across a 25-year asset life, depending on tariff and consumption profile.

We check it first: our structural engineers vet the roof for dead load, wind uplift and seismic effects, then design the module mounting structure accordingly.

Yes — interconnection studies and net-metering sanction support with the distribution utility are part of the package, per SREDA guidelines.

Cores are small-diameter, positioned by ferroscan to miss reinforcement, and made good with non-shrink grout after testing.

Yes — our crews work around shift patterns, often nights, and coordinate access with your production team.

Structural condition assessment, post-fire evaluation, pre-purchase due diligence and loan or insurance certification — defensible data for every one.

All 64 districts. Dhaka-division sites get the fastest mobilisation; nationwide projects are scheduled with travel planned in.

Yes — we start with a document and site review, issue a status report, then continue design or supervision from where the last engineer stopped.

Fixed, milestone-based payments tied to deliverables — never open-ended hourly billing. The proposal states exactly what each payment buys.

Initial visits inside Dhaka division are typically within 3 working days; elsewhere in Bangladesh within a week, aligned with your schedule.

No. The first consultation and proposal scoping are free — we quote before any paid work begins.

Yes. We regularly design for client-appointed contractors and provide construction-stage support to keep quality on plan.

Whatever exists: land documents, old drawings, soil reports, audit letters. Don't worry if nothing does — we'll plan the surveys.
