Design basis
Codes, standards & units for Brussels
We set the design basis for Brussels work before the first model is built, so the calculation report and the drawings speak the same language as your approval chain.
| Standard | Discipline | How we apply it |
|---|---|---|
| EN 1993 (Eurocode 3) | Structural steel | Steel design with the National Annex and NDPs for the country of build |
| EN 1090 | Execution | Execution class, tolerance and factory production control inputs on drawings |
| EN 13445 | Pressure equipment | Unfired pressure vessel design for PED-scope equipment |
| PD 5500 | Pressure equipment | Vessel design where the client specifies the British route |
| BS 5950 (legacy) | Structural steel | Assessment and modification of existing pre-Eurocode structures |

How we work with you
A working day with your Brussels team
Nothing about this is improvised. Brussels is 4 h 30 m behind our engineering desk (UTC+05:30), so we run a fixed daily rhythm around your working hours in Brussels.
Clock positions use standard time for Brussels; daylight saving shifts the band by one hour for part of the year.
4 h 30 m
Shared hours 09:00–13:30, Brussels time
Same working day
Raised and closed inside one working day
Twice weekly
A 30-minute model walkthrough on screen, plus a written progress log
09:00
1. Overnight drop is waiting
Models, drawings and calculation updates produced while Brussels was closed are already in the shared folder when your day starts.
09:00–13:30
2. Live window
Screen-share model walkthroughs, connection decisions and RFI closeout — with the engineer who did the work, not an account manager.
17:30
3. You hand off
Mark up the drawings, raise RFIs and set the next priority before you log off. The queue is picked up at the start of our next shift.
Next 09:00
4. Revisions back
Comments closed, revision clouds in place and the next issue in your folder before the first Brussels meeting of the day.
Sector focus

Commercial & compliance
Contracting, IP and invoicing for Brussels, Belgium
Engineering is the easy part of an offshore engagement — the contract, the IP and the invoice are what stall it. Here is how we set those up for Brussels, Belgium clients.
Fixed-price package
Quote in 24 h · 2–4 milestonesBest for: A defined scope — one building, one skid, one vessel
Lump sum against an agreed drawing and tonnage list. Milestone invoicing, and change orders only for scope you approve in writing.
Rate-based delivery
Weekly reporting · monthly invoiceBest for: Scope that is still moving
Per-drawing, per-tonne or per-hour rates fixed up front, with a weekly burn and progress report so the invoice never surprises you.
Dedicated engineers (ODC)
Monthly per seat · 1-month noticeBest for: A continuous workload across many projects
Named engineers reserved for you each month, working in your folder structure, templates and drawing standards under your team lead.
The paperwork, up front
Working with SES from Belgium
- Invoicing currency
- EUR or USD, fixed at contract stage
- Payment terms
- Milestone or monthly invoicing, net 30 days from invoice
- Contract vehicle
- NDA, then a master services agreement with a priced scope schedule per package
- IP & ownership
- Models, drawings, calculations and native files transfer to you on final payment
- Cross-border paperwork
- Tax-residency and invoice documentation supplied for Belgium finance and treaty relief
- Insurance
- Professional indemnity cover; certificate issued with the proposal on request
Local practice: Deliverables suit EN 1090 factory production control and the CE / UKCA documentation chain, and calculations are issued in a form your checking engineer or notified body can audit line by line.
Confidentiality, IP & data security
- Mutual NDA signed before drawings are exchanged — usually inside one working day.
- All models, drawings, calculations and native files become your property on final payment.
- Project data lives in access-controlled folders; only the named team on your job can open them.
- No sub-contracting of your scope to a third party without your written consent.
- Every deliverable is produced on genuine licensed software, so your submission chain stays clean.
- Transfers over your portal, SharePoint, or our encrypted link — whichever your IT policy allows.
