Our services entailed specifying layout of steels for loft conversion, location and size of timber beams and trimming around openings. Contact us to find out more about loft conversion in Croydon.

Temporary Works
Having worked with one of the biggest demolition contractors gave us a solid understanding of temporary works design for residential conversion projects. We can offer structural engineering consultancy services in designing temporary propping, needling beams, general works sequence above and below ground.

Pricing
We believe in cost transparency and therefore work on a fixed fee basis, clearly stating in writing our fee structure and what is included as a design output. Our work engagement costs usually depend on:

• Size and complexity of the project
• Impact on adjoining properties
• Project location
• Quality of information developed by third parties like architects or surveyors

In order to get a fixed quotation, we require provision of full site address, project brief and, if available, a set of planning proposals. This information is needed to determine preliminary support configuration and approximate time to produce design documentation in compliance with Part A of Building Regulations .

Once the structural design is complete, client receives calculation report for Building Control approval (Part A) complimented by support drawings outlining location and size of beams, padstones, columns, portal frames and foundations.

We also provide assistance during construction phase by responding to technical queries and, if required, offer site support. Do not hesitate to contact us today to discuss your upcoming project.

Projects
Quality is our work ethos
We develop comprehensive and detailed drawing output to ensure there are no issues on site as construction is the most expensive and labour intensive phase of each project. Therefore, information transparency and presentation have always been at the forefront of our work ethos.
