10 Excellent Structural and Construction Services from Start to Finish
Posted 28 May
I recently contacted Safi from Sandstone Engineering for assistance with the removal of three chimney breasts and subsequently hired him to manage the construction work as well. From our first conversation, it was clear that Safi is passionate about his work. He took the time to clearly explain each step of the process—from planning and building control to the actual construction. Safi managed the entire project seamlessly and addressed any issues that arose with practical, effective solutions. I'm very happy with the end result and highly recommend his services.Verified reviewerJob location: HA4- AAnonymous
10 chimney breast removal with structural calculations.
Posted 23 May
Safi provided a rapid service coming to take the measurements for the structural calculations the same day and then providing them the next day. His builders were able to complete the work within only a couple of weeks. Safi was very easy to work with and stayed on top of the project and was in regular communication with us throughout.Verified reviewerJob location: UB6 - AAnonymous
10 Structural drawing and calculations for removal of chimney breast and load bearing wall
Posted 18 April
I needed a structural drawing and calculation for removal chimney, load bearing wall and partition walls and installing steel beams. Safi at Standstone Engineering ltd responded promptly to the quote request and was very kind to visit the property on a Saturday on a short notice. He was very polite and professional. He went through the details and answered all my questions before and after providing the report. The report was done to high standards. It was great experience.Verified reviewerJob location: HA2 10 Knocking out a wall to integrate kitchen and dining

OUR ENGINEERS
Naseem Hafesji – MEng (hons), IStructE Member
With 5 years of experience in residential and commercial development across London, I have built up a wealth of knowledge regarding existing structures constructed across a span of different eras, be it Georgian, Victorian, or Edwardian.
Every building has a different story to tell, with unique characteristics which must be tailored to when looking to renovate and redevelop in-line with modern design standards. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all solution and ensure to consider the needs of the historic structure along with the new design.
Safi Al-Koud – MEng (hons), GMICE
I’m a fully qualified civil/structural engineer that have been working in the residential market for +4 years. I have gained most of my experience from working with an international multi-disciplinary consultancy firm on projects for the likes of Network Rail, TfL and different London Councils.
I have successfully led multiple projects from RIBA stage 1 (feasibility) to stage 5 (construction) using industry cutting-edge design techniques and software, utilising different construction materials such as timber, steel and reinforced concrete.
