Engineering calm into complexity.
Structural, civil and construction consultancy for complex works, procedures and lifting operations.
We help contractors, developers and project teams make better technical decisions — faster, safer and with greater certainty.
A sharper alternative to the conventional consultancy.
ThamesCore is designed for clients who want direct access to senior engineering thinking: rigorous enough for technical scrutiny, clear enough for commercial decision-makers, and practical enough for construction teams on site.
We support contractors, developers, architects and project teams with structural, civil and construction-stage advice — including procedures, methodologies, temporary works support, demolition, groundworks and lifting operations.
Contractors
Buildability, procedures, temporary works, groundworks, demolition methodology and lifting operations.
Developers
Feasibility, technical due diligence, risk visibility and commercially useful decision support.
Architects
Structural input, coordination support and pragmatic advice from concept to construction.
Project Teams
Clear engineering direction during delivery when time, safety and coordination matter.
Technical construction advice with executive clarity.
We frame every commission around the decision you need to make: what is at risk, what can be built, what needs documenting, and what the project team should do next.
Engineering & Technical Advisory
Structural and civil engineering input for feasibility, design decisions and construction-stage challenges.
Construction Procedures & Methodology
Clear procedures and methodology documentation for demolition, temporary works, groundworks and enabling works.
Temporary Works & Buildability
Practical support with temporary works strategies, coordination, sequencing and site delivery interfaces.
Lifting Operations & Plans
Engineering input, lift planning and method statements for safe, efficient lifting operations.
Demolition & Groundworks
Technical input and procedural documentation for demolition, enabling works, substructure and groundworks packages.
Technical Due Diligence
Clear, commercially focused reporting for risk, feasibility, asset review and project decision-making.
David López
David López leads ThamesCore Consulting, combining structural engineering expertise with hands-on experience in construction delivery, temporary works and complex site operations.
His work focuses on bridging the gap between design intent and site execution — ensuring that engineering decisions are not only technically sound, but buildable, safe and commercially viable.
ThamesCore was established to provide direct access to senior expertise, delivering clear, practical advice without the layers of traditional consultancies.
“Good engineering advice should reduce uncertainty, not add to it.”
A refined home for future case studies.
Representative project experience across residential, commercial and infrastructure sectors, including demolition, temporary works, groundworks and lifting operations. Replace the placeholders with real project photographs when available.
