Do I need a structural engineer for a load-bearing wall?

Yes. Removing or altering a load-bearing wall normally requires structural calculations to confirm a safe replacement support and satisfy Building Control.

How much do structural calculations cost?

Cost depends on the size, complexity and available information. Send us the project details for a free quotation tailored to the work required.

Will Building Control accept the calculations?

The calculations are prepared by experienced engineers and are suitable for submission to Local Authority or Private Building Control providers.

How quickly can the calculations be completed?

Timescales depend on the project and current workload. Urgent requirements should be identified when requesting the quotation.

Do you work with homeowners?

Yes. We regularly support homeowners, builders, architects, developers and commercial clients throughout Bristol.

Can you design steel beams for an extension?

Yes. Steel beam design can be provided as part of the wider structural package for extensions and structural alterations.

Is a site visit always required?

Not always. Some projects can be designed from suitable drawings and photographs, while others require a site inspection to confirm the existing construction.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide the project address, description of works, latest drawings, photographs and any Building Control comments already received.
