We have over fifteen years experience working on structural engineering projects all over London, Surrey and the South East.
If you are making home improvements to your home or remodelling part of your property it is essential to take into consideration the structural integrity of your home. A structural engineer would be involved if you are planning a rear extension, dormer loft conversion, or even removing a chimney. On large projects a structural engineer is vital for carrying out the calculations and drawings needed for building control. The builder will also use these calculations to carry out the work safely on your property.
Structural calculations & drawings
We will visit the property and carry out a visual inspection and discuss the proposed works with you.
We will then draw up a set of preliminary structural drawings, based on the provided architectural drawings, and send them to you and your architect/developer for your approval or comments. Once approved we will then proceed and produce structural drawings, calculations and specifications and issue them for construction.
These structural drawings can then be used for the builder, party wall agreements and building control approvals.
New build & extensions
If you are building a new property or you are extending your existing property, you will need the expertise and experience of a structural engineer.
We will work closely with you, with your Architect and other professionals to help you achieve your dream property and minimise cost through experience and good design.
Temporary works design
We can assist developers and contractors by designing the temporary works and ensuring that the building remains stable at all times whilst the permanent structural elements are installed.
We have excessive experience in temporary works and have acted as temporary works engineers for a variety of projects from basements in West London to commercial buildings.
Structural survey & reports
If you are buying a property you may require a structural engineer to visit the building and produce a structural survey report to determine any structural concernes, historical cracks, new and progressing cracks, differential movements etc.
A building survey will include the internal structure (woodworm, rot, walls, floors etc) as well as the external structure (roof, walls gutters etc) of a building and in the long term can save you from nasty surprises which can incur significants costs.
Renovations and refurbishments
You may require the services of a structural engineer for a whole host of smaller refurbishment projects. From knocking down wall and moving doorways to repositioning windows and removing chimneys, we can help you carry out your refurbishment safely. Calculations and drawings will be needed for building control and more importantly to ensure that your structural changes are safe..
