Calculations, integrated with the build
Every steel beam, removed wall, new foundation and loft floor needs a structural engineer's calculations — and we produce them through our consultant engineer, integrated with the architectural drawings and the build programme. No separate engagement, no gap between what's drawn and what's specified.
Because the calcs are produced alongside the drawings, the steel that's specified is the steel that fits the opening — and building control gets a coordinated package.
What we handle
- Structural calculations — for beams, lintels, padstones and foundations.
- Steel & beam design — sizing the RSJs and universal beams for openings and extensions.
- Foundation design — strip, trench-fill, raft or pile to suit the ground and the load.
- Loft & floor structure — floor-spanning and purlin-replacing steelwork for conversions.
Part of our architectural design service — submitted with Building Regulations and delivered through our structural alterations work.

Structural Design & Calculations FAQs
Do I need structural calculations to remove a wall?
Almost always — most internal walls in older homes are load-bearing, and any load-bearing alteration needs an engineer's calculations for the replacement beam or lintel. We include this through our consultant engineer.
Are the calculations submitted to building control?
Yes — structural calculations form part of the Building Regulations submission, and we coordinate the whole package in-house.
Can you design foundations for an extension or new build?
Yes — strip, trench-fill, raft or piled foundations, designed to suit the ground conditions and the loads involved.
