Deciding whether your project requires structural alterations is the first crucial step. Any work that affects the load-bearing elements of your building – walls, floors, roofs – will typically fall under this category. This could include removing a load-bearing wall to create a larger living area, installing steel beams to support an extension, or altering roof trusses during a loft conversion. Engaging a structural engineer early on is vital. They can assess your plans, determine the necessary structural work, and provide calculations to ensure building regulations compliance.

Building regulations are in place to ensure the safety and structural integrity of your property. Structural alterations invariably require building regulations approval. We can assist you in navigating this process, ensuring all work is carried out in accordance with the required standards. From submitting plans and calculations to arranging inspections, we'll handle the paperwork and liaise with the local council on your behalf.
