I will do structural engineering for residential projects

Yes

To begin, I will need a complete set of architectural drawings, including existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections. For loft conversions, details of the existing roof structure (e.g., trussed rafter or traditional cut roof) and ceiling heights are also highly beneficial.

Yes, absolutely. All structural calculations are meticulously prepared in accordance with current British Standards and Eurocodes. The final calculation pack is formatted specifically for seamless submission to and approval by your local Building Control body or Approved Inspector.

I provide structural designs for all typical UK loft conversions, including simple rooflight (Velux) conversions, flat roof dormers, hip-to-gable extensions, and mansard roofs. The design will cover everything from the new floor joists to the ridge beams and any necessary steelwork (RSJs).

Yes. For single and double-storey rear or side extensions, I provide the structural calculations for standard strip or trench fill foundations based on assumed typical ground conditions. If your site has complex ground conditions (e.g., proximity to large trees or poor soil), please message me to di

You will receive a comprehensive, professionally formatted PDF structural report containing all the necessary calculations for timber sizing, steel beams, and masonry. Alongside this, I provide detailed structural CAD drawings and connection details that clearly instruct your builders on how to exec

Certainly. Removing the rear wall of a property to create a large, open-plan kitchen and extension is very common. I will design the necessary goalpost frames, steel beams, and padstones to safely support the existing structure above while achieving your desired open space.

While builders can provide rough estimates from architectural plans, having the structural calculations completed first ensures their quotes are highly accurate. It tells them exactly what size steel beams, timber, and foundations are required, preventing unexpected costs further down the line.
