Do I Need Structural Calculations?

Structural calculations are often required when building work changes or adds to the structure of a property.

They demonstrate how structural elements have been designed to safely support the loads placed upon them and are commonly required as part of the Building Regulations process.

You may need structural calculations if you are:​

  • Building a home extension

  • Removing or altering a load-bearing wall

  • Installing a steel beam or RSJ

  • Converting a loft

  • Altering the roof structure

  • Designing new foundations

  • Creating larger openings within your home

  • Building a new property

Balint Lazar

Pavol acted as the structural engineer on our loft conversion. He has done a great job and he has worked together with both our architect and builder very smoothly. During the build, an unexpected issue came to light and Pavol was immediately available to advise and managed to resolve this with the builder. We plan to use him again for our next project.

Andy Stuart

I can't recommend Pavol highly enough. Unlike most we contacted he actually had an interest in assisting us. He dealt with our enquiries promptly and explains things in a way non-professionals easily understand. Great advice and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I will refer him to all of my friends.

Daniel Greaves

Pavol is a one of a kind quality structural surveyor. He has done some fantastic work for us in the past and continues to excel himself. With his great attention to detail, ideas and planning we’ve been able to get some great plans done and save tons of money in the process. We’d recommend at all times!
