About us
Paramount’s ethos has always been one of sustainability so consequently Paramount has a substantial focus on the use of timber, Glulam, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and other engineered woods. Our knowledge in this field is extensive and we frequently try and get involved at early design stages with architects to try and advise on what is possible in timber. Timber aside we are of course able to engineer anything from concrete to glass using the latest and most powerful software on the market to do so.


Services
Our comprehensive design service covers:



-Timber frame (both modern and traditional)
-Glulam frame
-Masonry
-Solid glulam
-Steel frame
-Concrete

Our structural team has expertise in timber projects covering the residential, retail, industrial, education and healthcare sectors.

Over the years our engineers have worked on a number of highly individual projects requiring bespoke design solutions. These have ranged from straw bale houses in Scotland, to the restoration of listed and historic buildings where the preservation of the existing structural elements is paramount. Our timber frame expertise is particularly important in this context. Where necessary the sensitive addition of modern materials and techniques will bring the building up to the required structural standards.

All of our clients are valued and provided with full support throughout the design and construction process, engineers are happy to undertake site visits where necessary and are always available to answer any questions you might have.

Design process and the role of detailing.
We use the latest in computer modelling techniques including 3 dimensional frame analysis and design software Masterseries to provide fast and accurate designs. We also use finite element analysis for specialist areas of design.
