Auxilium Structural Engineering

I specialize in calculation packages for a wide range of structural elements like steel beams, columns, foundations, retaining walls and timber elements .

I also produce structural surveys for homebuyers as well as site inspections. I am Marcin and I am a structural engineer with a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering. I graduated in 2006. I have been working as a structural engineer in the UK since 2014. My first three years I spent designing mainly all the structural elements for care homes and student accommodation projects. I also have experienc

e in designing cladding supports. Before I came to the UK I was working as a structural and civil engineer in Poland since 2006. I belong to ICE (Institution of Civil Engineers) as a graduate member and I am in the process of getting my chartership. Since 2019 I have done a few hundred structural surveys /reports (full and specific) and calculation packages for different structural elements (beams, columns, lintels, foundations - different types, retaining walls etc.)

Auction properties can hide serious structural issues behind fresh paint and clever staging. Before you place a bid, know what to look for. Diagonal cracks, bowing walls, sagging rooflines, fresh patchwork and undocumented extensions are red flags that experienced buyers never ignore.

Do not let excitement cloud your judgment during a viewing. A few extra minutes of inspection could save you thousands in repairs.

Spotting the defect is easy. Guessing what it costs to fix is where auction buyers lose money.

I built a spreadsheet that ends the guesswork, using real UK industry rates and structural underpinning costs. Enter what you found, add the quantities, get your exact ceiling bid.

Thinking about bidding on your next auction property? Read this first.

Auction properties can hide costly structural issues that aren’t always obvious during a quick viewing. “Before You Bid” is a practical field guide that teaches you what to actually look for, written by Senior Structural Engineer Marcin Krawucki (BSc Hons, MCIOB, MIET, ACABE, GMICE), who has carried out over 220 UK property inspections.

This guide helps you view a property through the eyes of a structural engineer, so you know exactly what you’re bidding on before you raise the paddle, not after.

The auction room waits for nobody.

And when that hammer falls you are legally committed.
No survey. No escape. No way back.

Most buyers walk in having done the bare minimum.

This checklist makes sure you're not one of them.

Every check. In order. Done before 8am on auction morning.

Most buyers see a crack and panic. Others ignore it. 🧱👀

But not every crack means the same thing. Direction, width, and location can tell you a lot about what’s really happening—and what it could cost you.

A straight vertical crack? Often thermal movement.
A diagonal, staircase-shaped crack? Potential settlement—worth getting checked by an engineer.
And where the crack appears can change the entire story.

Same crack. Different location. Completely different cost.

This is just one chapter of the full Buyer’s Guide. 🏠

Same house. Same auction.
One had the guide. One didn't.

£47,000 difference in outcome.

The only thing that separated them
was knowing what that crack actually meant
before the hammer fell.
