CLEA replaces the boring 200-page reports, endless photo logs and revisions, and an overflowing inbox with massive email attachments with a single live dashboard. Calculations, drawings, RFIs and progress — visible to your whole project team, in real time, the moment they change.
Our goal is to make our outputs as clear as possible to anyone who wishes to read them. No waffle, just CLEA.
Our system should be intuitive to use and should make as much sense to you as to us — load paths, not file paths.
Updates should take a proportionate amount of time to update. Don't wait for a whole report to be updated — small change, small wait.
We recognise neurodiversity and want to give flexibility in how your project data is presented — your project presented your way
From scheme to site. New-build frames, alterations and extensions, cantilevers, connections — designed to the relevant Eurocode suite and delivered as a live, traceable dashboard. Every member sized, every check inline, every revision dated.
Pre-purchase, pre-works and ongoing monitoring surveys for domestic/residential, commercial and heritage stock. We document defects, identify causes, and prioritise sensitiveremediation — with photographs, sketches and recommendations cross-linked to the structure they describe, not buried in an appendix.
We recognise and encourage the use of roof area to locally generate electricity. We provide structural sign-off for solar PV installs on existing roofs — domestic to large commercial. We check the condition of the roof via drone inspection, assess the existing structure against the additional dead, wind and snow loads, and identify strengthening where needed.
Retaining walls, garden offices, pergolas, raised decks, stepped terraces and water features. We work directly with landscape architects and contractors to design lean, buildable structures — often the difference between an approved planning submission and a redesign.
Early-stage structural feasibility for clients, developers and architects deciding whether a scheme is buildable, costable, and worth pursuing. We undertake a site due diligence, test load paths, identify high-risk elements, sketch outline options, and give you a defensible structural narrative to take into planning, finance, or RIBA Stage 2.
We encourage an embodied carbon calculation with every project. We have the ability to do this at each stage of your project, highlighting the progress towards a more sustainable project as the project develops. We can also design specifically for low carbon options.
Open your activities log on the CLEA dashboard and you can see every change to your project no matter how small. No more unexpected changes happening under the radar.
Our way of giving back to the community. A growing library of short, plain-spoken lessons on how structures actually work — from first-principles statics to why your loft conversion needs a steel. From secondary school to sixth form college up to first year university students - all levels welcome. All lessons are free. Get in touch if you would like to suggest our next video.
Triangles, tension, compression — in five minutes, with one beer mat.
Reading a deflection curve without ever opening a textbook.
What we actually mean when we say a building has been “designed for loads”.
Yield, ultimate, ductility — and why your beam is allowed to bend a bit.
Efficiency is one of our core philosophies. At CLEA, we developed ways of working that are productivity aids in themselves. CLEA Systems is a growing set of focused tools that we use behind the scenes - at work and at home. Curious? Try it for free for 30 days with no sign up requirements other than an email address. Great tools should reach everyone. Work for a registered charity? Get in touch - a tool of your choice is on us.
Ranks every task by urgency, importance and effort — and shows you exactly why. Lets you choose a prioritisation strategy, working hours per day, set a focus timer, and link tasks together. Also compares how long you've worked on a task against how long you thought it would take.
