  • Load-bearing wall removal and calculations

  • Structural openings for extensions and internal alterations

  • Steel beam (RSJ) design

Why Structural Design Matters

Structural design is essential to ensure that any changes to your property are safe, compliant, and suitable for long-term use.

It helps prevent structural issues, supports planning and building approval, and ensures construction work is carried out correctly on site.

Structural Changes and Building Regulations

Most structural work requires approval under Building Regulations.

We can assist in preparing structural drawings and calculations to support your project through approval and provide clear guidance for construction.
