Hire a civil and structural engineer in Greece and Cyprus

Structural judgement for a seismic country: static studies, honest assessments of ageing buildings, and due diligence a buyer can price.

Greece builds and renovates on seismic ground, and Cyprus shares the exposure. That fact sits underneath every structural decision in this market: what an ageing building can carry, what a renovation may touch, what a buyer is really acquiring, and what a permitting file must demonstrate. A civil and structural engineer answers those questions in writing and stands behind the answer, from static studies for new works to the assessment of buildings that predate the modern seismic codes.

The civil and structural engineers on Hellenic Talent have held senior roles in technical consultancies, construction contractors, and developer and industrial organisations. Their work comes from property owners renovating older stock, corporates extending their facilities, and the PE funds and investors who want a building understood before its price is agreed.

What does a civil and structural engineer actually do?

  • Prepare static studies and structural designs for new works, extensions, and conversions
  • Assess existing buildings, including seismic capacity, and set out realistic strengthening options
  • Run technical due diligence on property and asset acquisitions for investors and funds
  • Prepare the engineering studies and drawings that permitting files require
  • Review contractor designs, temporary works, and structural variations from the owner's side
  • Supervise site works and check that what is built matches what was signed
  • Investigate cracking, settlement, and moisture damage back to a structural cause

How to choose the right civil and structural engineer

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

  1. Retrofit, not only new build

    Has assessed and strengthened existing buildings, not only designed new ones, if your stock is older.

  2. Knows what the codes demand

    Fluent in the seismic assessment and design codes that apply here, and plain about what they demand.

  3. Writes for non-engineers

    For due diligence, writes findings a non-engineer can act on: what is wrong, what it means, what it will take to fix.

  4. Occupied and operating sites

    Has worked under your constraints: occupied buildings, live hotels, and operating plants each bring their own.

  5. Chamber registration where required

    Where signed studies or permits are required, confirm registration with the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) or the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ETEK).
