The practice was established by Rob (Edward Arthur Robin) Sheppard in 1962 in Bexhill and was initially involved with highway construction and drainage works. In 1965 the Practice was re-located to Eastbourne at Chiswick Place. Since that time it has continued to develop, expanding its involvement to incorporate a broader range of civil and structural engineering disciplines.
In 1981 an office in Hastings was opened to better serve the expanding client base and now with advances in communication technology it has been possible to combine all our resources back to Chiswick Place.

We are a family run civil and structural engineering consultancy established in 1962 offering a comprehensive service from feasibility through to completion of structural and civil engineering projects. Our senior engineers are all chartered members of either the Institution of Civil or Structural Engineers and each have a minimum of 25 years experience working in the private sector.
Structural calculations are often required to support a Building Regulation Application and also for the builder to work from to ensure that any construction they undertake is structurally safe. You will almost certainly require structural calculations for loft conversions, and even a small extension.
Design and detailing of new buildings and structures can be completed in many different construction materials including the main four of concrete, masonry, steel and timber (or combinations of these materials) to suit budget, specific planning conditions and end use requirements. If you are building a new commercial building or residential property EAR Sheppard can help.
When planning or considering making any structural alteration to your building it is advisable to engage the services of a Structural Engineer. This applies to all structures commercial or residential and whether brick/masonry, steel framed, concrete or timber. If alterations to foundations are required to support work planned i.e. extensions or loft conversions.
Garage conversions are becoming more popular for people who need extra space in their buildings for uses such as accommodation, home offices, utility areas, games rooms or workshops. Often garages do not maximise the space available and a conversion adds value to the available space in a property. Is planning permission required for a garage conversion?
