Alterations and Extensions
We have extensive experience in the structural design of alterations, refurbishments and extensions. This may range from a single beam to allow removal of load-bearing wall, through to a major remodelling of an existing building.
​
We are also experienced in the design of basements.
How we can help:
Our involvement will depend on the level of complexity, but typically we would:
​
-
Make a site visit if necessary
-
Undertake the structural design of the elements required - considering both the strength and stiffness requirements
-
Check the lateral stability of the structure
-
Prepare a set of drawings and specifications showing the structural requirements
-
Design any steelwork connections required – we do not charge extra for this service
-
Prepare any reinforcement detailing drawings needed – we will include this in our fixed fees
-
Prepare a set of calculations that should be submitted to building control or an approved inspector
​
We are committed to deliver a high quality and bespoke service for all of our clients no matter the size or complexity of the project.

If you have a building alteration or extension which requires a local structural engineer, contact our team today.
How We're Keeping You Safe:
In order to keep our clients and staff safe, we will still be wearing the necessary PPE and face masks during any visits. If you have any concerns about a site visit, please contact us as we can find alternatives to allow our structural design to be carried out in a way that you feel comfortable with.
