Engineering for strength and durability
Buildingengineering
Structural design, electrical networks, plumbing, HVAC and site utilities — safe, high-performing and durable buildings.
Building engineering ensures that a project is not only beautiful, but safe, high-performing and durable. YAMBE Architectes' design office brings structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and site utilities under one roof — essential coordination to avoid inconsistencies between trades that prove costly on site.
The disciplines covered by our design office
A complete technical study secures the permit application, contractor tendering and the execution of the works.
- Structural design: reinforced concrete, sizing of foundations, slabs, columns and beams
- Electrical: load assessment, distribution plans, earthing
- Plumbing and drainage: water supply, waste water, water treatment
- Air conditioning and ventilation suited to Douala's climate
- Site utilities: roads, service networks, rainwater management
Why engineering integrated with architecture
When the architect and the engineers work separately, decisions are made too late: a load calculation that forces a plan to be redrawn, a suspended ceiling too low for the ducts, a forgotten plant room. By bringing the two disciplines together, we lock in consistency from the design stage and deliver a file that is ready to build.
Frequently asked questions
Can you carry out only the structural design for an existing project?+
Yes. We can produce a structural study or design calculations based on architectural plans provided by a third party.
Is the soil survey included?+
The geotechnical survey is carried out by a specialist laboratory; we organise it and use its results to size the foundations.
Do your studies comply with the standards in force in Cameroon?+
Yes. Our calculations and plans comply with applicable standards and good building practice — an essential condition for the safety of the building and for obtaining the permit.
