Meet Nicole
NSB Structures is a Guildford-based structural engineering practice led by Nicole Beaumont, a Chartered Structural Engineer with 20 years of experience across residential, commercial and new build projects throughout Surrey, Sussex and the surrounding areas.
Nicole founded NSB Structures in 2021 with a clear purpose: to provide structural engineering that is thorough, personal and genuinely reliable. Having successfully completed over 800 projects, she gets involved early, stays involved throughout, and takes real ownership of everything she takes on.
The majority of NSB's work comes through repeat clients and personal recommendations, which reflects the way Nicole works. She communicates clearly, keeps things straightforward, and delivers calculations and designs that can be built with confidence. Nicole is always conscious of the environmental impact of construction and looks for opportunities to reduce embodied carbon and material waste wherever the project allows.
Why choose NSB Structures?
Here's why architects, builders and homeowners keep coming back to Nicole.
-
When you instruct NSB Structures, you work with Nicole directly — from the first conversation through to final sign-off. No account managers, no junior engineers picking up your job halfway through. The person you speak to is the person doing the work.
-
Nicole prefers to get involved early, before problems have a chance to become expensive ones. Whether that's at concept stage with an architect, at planning stage with a developer, or at the kitchen table with a homeowner wondering if a wall can come down — early involvement consistently leads to better outcomes.
-
Structural engineering doesn't have to feel complicated. Nicole explains what she's found, what it means and what needs to happen next in plain English, and keeps you informed at every stage. You'll never be left wondering where your project stands.
-
The majority of NSB's work comes through personal recommendations and repeat instructions. That's not a marketing claim — it's a reflection of the way Nicole works and the standard she holds herself to on every project.
-
Nicole is a Chartered Structural Engineer, a Member of the Institution of Structural Engineers, and registered with the Engineering Council. NSB Structures also holds full Professional Indemnity Insurance. This means that every project we take on is fully covered, giving architects, developers and homeowners complete peace of mind from day one. Full details are available on request.
-
NSB Structures is based in Guildford and works across Surrey, Sussex and the Home Counties. Nicole understands the local planning environment, the building stock, the AONBs, the listed buildings and the building control teams. That local knowledge saves time and avoids surprises.
