Structural expertise at the heart of your projects.
COFEC INTERNATIONAL supports construction professionals with the design, sizing and modelling of structures. We develop reliable, optimised solutions that meet the architectural, regulatory and economic requirements of each project.
Structural engineering in service of your ambitions.
COFEC INTERNATIONAL is a consultancy specialised in structural engineering and BIM. We work alongside construction professionals to provide technical answers suited to each project, from new build to refurbishment.
Our approach rests on three principles: technical command, optimised structural solutions and precise deliverables.
Technical expertise
Command of structural systems and how they behave.
Optimisation
Rational, cost-effective solutions.
Coordination
Architectural and technical constraints, integrated.
Complementary skills for every structure.
Concrete, steel, timber and digital models: four specialities brought together to handle the load-bearing system as a whole.
Reinforced concrete structures
Design, analysis and sizing of reinforced concrete works, from foundations to superstructures.
STSteel structures
Frames, portals, composite floors and connections, sized with fabrication and erection in mind.
TBTimber structures
Traditional and glulam structures, engineered around the way timber actually behaves.
BIMBIM modelling and engineering
Structured digital models, drawing extraction and coordination with the other disciplines.
From concept design to construction-stage studies.
Complete structural support, tailored to the scope of your assignment.
Structural design studies
Choosing the load-bearing system and materials from the earliest project stages.
Analysis and sizing
Element design checked against loads, applicable codes and site conditions.
Modelling and analysis
Calculation models to study the global and local behaviour of the structure.
Formwork drawings
Concrete geometry, openings and dimensions for the site team.
Reinforcement drawings
Detailed reinforcement, bar schedules and detailing rules.
Steel and timber shop drawings
General arrangement and detail drawings for fabrication and erection.
Calculation notes and technical files
Clear supporting documents, ready for the checking authority.
BIM modelling and coordination
Structured models and clash coordination with the other trades.
Engineering designed for the performance of your projects.
A structure is more than something that carries loads. It has to suit the architecture, keep costs under control and be buildable on site.
Technical rigour
Each solution is studied against the project’s constraints and the applicable requirements.
Structural optimisation
We look for the best balance between safety, performance and cost.
Digital tools
Analysis and modelling software put to work for the quality of our studies.
Technical partnership
Close collaboration with architects, engineering firms, contractors and project managers.
Engineering studies behind real projects.
Housing, public facilities, refurbishments and civil works: a selection of projects we have contributed to.
A technical partner for your projects.
COFEC INTERNATIONAL works with engineering firms, contractors, architects and building professionals. The way we are organised makes collaboration smooth, technical communication efficient and deliverables suited to each project.
