Structural Design & Calculations

Structural calculations establish how loads will be supported when a building is extended or altered. We develop calculations and structural designs around the individual property, proposed layout and construction requirements.

We regularly prepare structural calculations for:

  • House extensions
  • Rear extensions
  • Side extensions
  • Single-storey extensions
  • Double-storey extensions
  • Loft conversions
  • Garage conversions
  • Load-bearing wall removals
  • RSJ installations
  • Structural openings
  • New build projects
  • Foundation requirements

Accurate calculations can help builders understand the required structural solution and provide the supporting technical information needed for Building Control consideration where applicable.

 

Structural Engineers for Extensions & Conversions

Extending or converting a property can involve significant changes to the existing structure. Our structural engineers Wickford consider the relationship between the original building and proposed alterations when developing an appropriate structural solution.

We provide engineering support for:

  • Rear extensions
  • Side extensions
  • Single-storey extensions
  • Double-storey extensions
  • Loft conversions
  • Garage conversions
  • Basement conversions
  • Open-plan alterations
  • New build homes

Our structural designs are prepared with the proposed construction in mind, helping ensure the engineering requirements can be effectively incorporated into the building work.

Structural Surveys & Assessments

If you're concerned about cracking, movement or other signs of potential structural problems, a structural assessment can help establish what may be happening and whether further investigation is necessary.

Our structural survey and assessment services can support:

  • Crack investigations
  • Structural movement assessments
  • Property condition assessments
  • Subsidence-related concerns
  • Older and period properties
  • Proposed structural alterations
  • Pre-construction assessments

For projects involving wider renovation, development or improvement plans, our Property Consultancy service can provide additional support with project planning and feasibility.

RSJ & Steel Beam Design

Removing a load-bearing wall can transform the layout of a property, but the loads previously carried by the wall must be safely transferred to another structural element.

Where required, we can also complete associated construction work, including temporary support, load-bearing wall removal, padstone installation and RSJ fitting.

This gives suitable clients the option of coordinating the structural design, calculations and construction work through one experienced team.
