Structural Design & Calculations

Structural design and calculations are often required when making significant changes to an existing property or constructing a new building.

We assess the proposed works and prepare structural calculations based on the specific requirements of the project, taking into account the existing structure and the loads created by the proposed alterations.

Our structural calculations can support:

  • Rear extensions
  • Side extensions
  • Single-storey extensions
  • Double-storey extensions
  • Loft conversions
  • Garage conversions
  • Load-bearing wall removal
  • Structural openings
  • RSJ installations
  • New build construction
  • Foundation design

Providing builders with clear structural information before work begins helps reduce uncertainty during construction and supports the Building Control process.

Structural Engineers for Extensions & Conversions

Increasing the size or usability of a property often involves structural changes to the existing building.

Our structural engineers provide design and calculation support for extensions and conversions in Harwich, including:

  • Rear property extensions
  • Side extensions
  • Double-storey extensions
  • Loft conversions
  • Garage conversions
  • Basement conversions
  • Open-plan alterations
  • New build homes

We consider how the proposed work interacts with the existing structure before developing a suitable engineering solution.

This helps ensure new structural elements, openings, supports and load paths are properly considered as part of the wider project.

Structural Surveys

If you have concerns about the condition or stability of a property, a structural survey or assessment can help establish what may be causing the problem and what action may be appropriate.

Our structural engineers Harwich services can assist with properties affected by cracking, movement, deterioration or previous structural alterations.

We can provide support for:

  • Crack investigations
  • Structural movement
  • Property condition assessments
  • Subsidence-related concerns
  • Structural alterations
  • Older and period properties
  • Pre-purchase or pre-construction assessments

For clients who require broader advice about property development, feasibility or planned improvements, our Property Consultancy service can provide additional support alongside structural engineering.
