Graham Schofield Associates (GSA) was appointed to provide full Civil & Structural Engineering services for the construction of a three-storey Furniture Retail Showroom in Gateshead. Designed to offer durability, flexibility, and a modern aesthetic, the project required an engineering-led approach to optimise load-bearing capacity, create spacious interiors, and minimise environmental impact.

GSA was responsible for the full structural design and engineering services, from foundation design to superstructure detailing. Our team worked closely with the client and architects to ensure the building met all structural requirements while providing an adaptable retail space.

Key Features

• Piled Foundation System: Designed to support the multi-storey showroom, providing stability on variable ground conditions.
• Steel Frame Superstructure: A composite upper floor deck system ensured load-bearing efficiency while maintaining an open-plan retail space.
• Enhanced Structural Durability: Engineering solutions were tailored to accommodate heavy furniture displays and high footfall.
