Services

We design structures for new buildings, verify structural designs and assess existing buildings.

Structural design

Your building’s load-bearing structure, from concept to construction details.

Request a quote for this service

When you need it

You have an architectural design for a new building: a residential complex, an office building, a hotel, a retail or logistics hall. The earlier we join the project, the better the structure fits the architecture.

What you receive

  • The structural concept and preliminary sizing, agreed with the architect
  • The analysis model in ETABS, with the foundations designed in GEO5 based on the geotechnical report
  • The technical design (PTh): technical report, calculation notes, specifications and structural drawings
  • The construction details (DE): formwork and reinforcement drawings for every structural element
  • Technical support during construction

Who signs

The design is prepared and signed by SABI STRUCTURA’s engineers. For buildings in consequence classes CC2–CC4, it is then checked by an MDLPA-attested design verifier who is independent of us.

Design verification

We check structural designs for mechanical resistance and stability, in domain A1.

Request a quote for this service

When you need it

Structural designs for buildings in consequence classes CC2, CC3 and CC4 must be checked by an attested design verifier who took no part in the design. For class CC1, verification is not mandatory.

What you receive

  • A review of the written documents and drawings of the structural design
  • Written comments, which the designer resolves before the verification is signed
  • The verification report, signed and stamped by the attested verifier
  • The verifier’s stamp on the checked documents

Who signs

Our MDLPA-attested design verifier for domain A1: [Name – confirm consent].

Technical expert assessment

We assess the structure of existing buildings and recommend strengthening solutions.

Request a quote for this service

When you need it

Before any work on the structure of an existing building: adding storeys, converting the attic, extending, cutting new openings in structural walls or changing its use. Also whenever you need to know how safe a building is: after cracks appear, before a purchase or to assess its seismic risk.

What you receive

  • A site visit and a review of the building’s existing documents
  • An assessment of the structure’s condition and safety, including under seismic action
  • The recommended intervention or strengthening solutions
  • The technical expert report, signed and stamped by the attested technical expert

Who signs

Our MDLPA-attested technical expert for domain A1: [Name – confirm consent].

Domain A1: concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry and timber structures.

Independence

We never verify designs we worked on as designers, and we never carry out a technical expert assessment of designs we prepared or verified.

How we work

From the first call to the building site, in six steps.

  1. You send us the project details

    Through the form, by email or by phone: what you are building, where, how large it is and which documents you already have (urban planning certificate, geotechnical report, architectural design).

  2. You receive our quote

    We review the documents and send you a quote with the phases, deadlines and price [within X working days – to be confirmed]. If anything is missing, we tell you exactly what we need.

  3. We agree the structural concept

    We choose the structural system with the architect: walls, frames and foundation type. We size the main elements early, so the architecture starts from real dimensions.

  4. We analyse the structure

    We model the building in ETABS and check how it behaves under gravity loads, wind, snow and earthquakes. We design the foundations in GEO5, based on the geotechnical report.

  5. We deliver the technical design and construction details

    Formwork and reinforcement drawings, calculation notes, a technical report and specifications. For consequence classes CC2–CC4, the design is then checked by an independent attested design verifier.

  6. We support the contractor on site

    During construction we answer the contractor’s questions and visit the site at the key stages of the structural work.

Frequently asked questions

What do you need from me for a quote?

It helps to have the architectural design (even at concept stage), the urban planning certificate and the geotechnical report, if they exist. For a first estimate, the location, the gross floor area and the number of storeys are enough. If anything important is missing, we tell you exactly what we need.

How much does structural design cost?

The price depends on the floor area, the number of storeys and basements, spans and cantilevers, the ground conditions and the phases you need. Once we have the project details, we send you a quote broken down by phase.

What do PTh and DE mean?

PTh (proiect tehnic) is the technical design: the complete structural solution, with a technical report, calculation notes, specifications and drawings. DE (detalii de execuție) are the construction details: the drawings the contractor uses to build the formwork, fix the reinforcement and cast each element. Together, PTh + DE are the documents the structure is built from.

Does the structural design have to be verified?

Yes, if the building falls into consequence class CC2, CC3 or CC4. Romania’s Spatial Planning, Urbanism and Construction Code (Law 169/2026) requires the check to be done by an attested design verifier who took no part in the design. For class CC1, verification is not mandatory. We never verify designs we worked on as designers.

When do I need a technical expert assessment?

Work on the structure of an existing building (adding storeys, converting the attic, extending, cutting new openings in structural walls or changing its use) usually starts with a technical expert assessment (expertiză tehnică). An assessment also helps when you want to know how safe a building is, for example after cracks appear. We assess concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry and timber structures (domain A1).

Do you work outside Iași?

Yes. We have projects in 16 locations across Romania, from Timișoara to Constanța. We can work remotely with architects and clients, and we come to site when the project needs it.

Tell us what you are building

The quote request takes about two minutes. We reply with a quote or, if information is missing, with the questions we need answered to prepare one.
