Swanton Consulting provides independent Peer Reviews and Category 3 Checks to ensure the safety, compliance, and buildability of complex structural and geotechnical designs. These services span a wide range of temporary works, including deep basements, façade retention, construction sequencing, and bespoke structural elements.

Led by Chartered Engineers with backgrounds in both consultancy and contracting, our review team brings a balanced perspective that combines technical accuracy with practical constructability. We support both project design teams and contractors by reviewing designs against relevant codes, best practices, and project-specific requirements.

Our Cat 3 Checks are fully independent and conducted in accordance with BS 5975-1:2024, giving clients confidence in the integrity of high-risk or safety-critical works. Beyond compliance, our peer reviews often identify opportunities for optimisation, risk reduction, and improved sequencing—adding real value to the project delivery process.

We encourage early engagement to maximise the benefit of our input and to help ensure that designs are robust, coordinated, and ready for execution.
