GL&SS | OUR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS
360 GSS prioritises safety, structural integrity, and compliance in all our projects, especially those involving intricate architectural elements such as extra-large Juliet balconies, cantilevered balconies, glass terraces and verandas.
To achieve these standards, we have forged a long-standing partnership with GL&SS, a renowned and reputable firm of structural engineers based in London, with sensational structures that span across UK, Europe, Asia, Middle East and North America.
Through our collaboration, GL&SS brings their expertise to the table, meticulously assessing designs and providing invaluable insights to ensure that each structure is not only architecturally striking but also safe, structurally sound, and compliant with all relevant building codes and regulations.
This partnership guarantees that every aspect of the project, from the initial concept to the final construction phase, is thoroughly scrutinised and engineered to meet the highest standards of quality and safety.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why would I need a structural engineer for my glass installation project?
Structural engineers are crucial for ensuring the safety and stability of your glass installation. At 360 GSS, we work with structural engineers to assess factors like load-bearing capacity, wind resistance, and material strength, ensuring your project meets both safety standards and aesthetic expectations.
Does 360 GSS provide structural engineering services?
360 GSS does not employ in-house structural engineers, but we collaborate closely with trusted professionals to support your project. If you don’t already have a structural engineer, we can recommend experienced partners to handle the necessary calculations and certifications.
What types of projects require a structural engineer’s report?
A structural engineer’s report is often required for projects such as frameless glass balustrades, Juliet balconies, or bespoke glass installations that involve structural steel. These reports ensure compliance with building regulations and confirm the project’s safety and durability.
Will 360 GSS handle the communication with the structural engineer?
Yes, we can coordinate directly with our structural engineers. This ensures that all technical requirements are seamlessly integrated into the design and installation process, saving you time and effort.
