Structural Design & Constructions
EPC, PM & CM
We specialise in overseeing the structural design and oversight of construction of all scale pf projects. By doing so, we ensure that these changes are safe, compliant with building codes, and standards , integrated seamlessly into the existing structure. As Chartered Structural Engineers with IStructE (Institution of Structural Engineers), we’re proud to perform to the highest possible standards.
What We Do
1. Structural Assessment:
Before any work begins, we assess the existing building to determine its structural integrity. This includes evaluating the foundation, load-bearing walls and other critical elements to ensure they can support the new construction.
2. Design of Steel and RC structure
For extensions or renovations that involve removing walls or adding new floors, we design appropriate supports, such as steel beams or columns, to bear additional loads. This is especially important in home extensions or loft conversions.
3. Load-Bearing Wall Modifications:
When expanding or renovating, some walls may need to be removed or altered. We evaluate whether these walls are load-bearing and designs safe alternatives, such as new beams or reinforcements, to maintain structural stability.
4. Foundation Design:
For larger extensions, we may need to design or modify the foundation to support the additional weight. This ensures that the new part of the building is stable and prevents issues like subsidence.
5. Structural Calculations and Plans:
We provide detailed structural calculations and plans, which are essential for ensuring that the construction meets safety standards and building regulations. These calculations are also typically required for obtaining building permits.
6. Compliance with Building Codes:
We ensure that all structural changes comply with local building regulations, including aspects related to safety, load-bearing capacity and fire resistance.
7. Construction Oversight:
During the construction phase, we provide ongoing inspections and guidance to ensure that the construction follows the approved design and is completed safely and correctly.
Extension Building & Extension Planning: How We Work
We take a thorough, step-by-step approach to extension building and planning. Our process starts with a detailed consultation where we assess your current property, discuss your vision, and identify any potential structural concerns. We then provide comprehensive structural designs, including steel beam calculations and load assessments, ensuring your extension integrates safely and seamlessly with your existing building. Throughout the construction process, we coordinate with builders and contractors, offering continuous support and inspections to guarantee that every element of the extension is built to the highest standards.
