Structural Calculations and Drawings for Homeowners
When you are planning a home extension, loft conversion, or knocking through a wall, one of the most important steps is getting your structural calculations and drawings in place. Building Control in the UK requires these before work can start, and they make sure your project is not only safe but also approved without delays. That is where we come in.
We provide homeowners with expert structural calculations and detailed drawings tailored to their property. Whether you want a kitchen extension, an open-plan living area, or an extra bedroom in the loft, we will make sure your structure is designed properly from the start. Our role is to take away the guesswork for your builder and give Building Control everything they need to sign off your project.
Home Extensions
Extensions are one of the most popular ways to add value and space to a home. We calculate the steel beams, lintels, and supports needed to carry the new loads, ensuring your extension blends seamlessly with your existing structure. From single storey rear extensions to double storey side extensions, we provide clear drawings and calcs so your builder knows exactly what to do.
Loft Conversions
Loft conversions need careful design because they add weight to the existing structure. We specialise in designing the new floor joists, ridge beams, and dormer supports required to make your loft safe and usable. Whether it is a simple Velux conversion or a full dormer extension, we prepare the calculations that keep your project compliant with UK standards.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal
Opening up living spaces by removing walls is a common request. But it is vital to know which walls are load bearing and how to support them correctly. We provide the calculations for RSJs (rolled steel joists) and any padstones or connections required. This makes sure your open-plan space is both safe and approved first time.
Steel Beam Designs
Every project involving structural change often comes down to the right beam design. We use the latest software and engineering standards (Eurocodes and BS) to size steel beams, check deflections, and prepare drawings that contractors can follow on site. Our beam designs cover everything from small openings to large spans for major extensions.
