Structural Design & Calculations
Structural calculations help establish how proposed alterations will support loads and interact with the existing structure. They are commonly required for extensions, conversions, wall removals and other significant building alterations.
Our structural engineers prepare project-specific calculations and designs, taking account of the existing property and the proposed changes.
We regularly provide structural calculations for:

Clear structural calculations and appropriately specified steelwork help provide builders with a defined solution and support the technical information required for Building Control consideration.
Structural Engineers Chelmsford for Extensions & Conversions
Extensions and conversions often involve changes to walls, floors, roofs and other structural elements. Proper engineering design helps ensure these alterations are supported safely and integrate appropriately with the existing building.
Our Chelmsford structural engineering services can support:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Single-storey extensions
- Double-storey extensions
- Loft conversions
- Garage conversions
- Basement conversions
- Open-plan alterations

We assess the existing construction and proposed alterations before developing practical structural solutions for the project.
Our structural engineering services can complement Property Extensions, Loft Conversions, Garage Conversions and Basement Conversions, providing natural internal links between the engineering and construction sides of a project.
Structural Surveys
Existing properties can develop structural issues for a variety of reasons, including movement, deterioration or changes made over many years. Where concerns arise, a structural survey or assessment can provide useful information about the condition of the building.
Our structural survey services can support:
- Crack investigations
- Structural movement assessments
- Property condition assessments
- Subsidence-related concerns
- Structural alterations
- Older and period properties
- Pre-construction assessments
We provide practical structural advice based on the individual circumstances of the property.
For clients considering wider property development, renovation or construction work, our Property Consultancy service can provide additional advice and project support.
RSJ & Steel Beam Design
Load-bearing wall removal and large structural openings frequently require additional support. In these situations, an appropriately designed RSJ or structural steel beam may form part of the solution.
Steadfast SES provides structural calculations and steel beam specifications based on the requirements of the proposed alteration.
Where appropriate, we can also complete the associated construction work, including temporary support, load-bearing wall removal, padstone installation and RSJ fitting.
This provides clients with the option of coordinating structural engineering and construction through one experienced team.
