Structural Design & Calculations in Essex

Structural drawings and calculations for safe, compliant building projects.

Working with Structural Engineers

Structural Calculations and drawings

We work with trusted structural engineers to coordinate the drawings and calculations needed for your project.

​

From beams and foundations to openings and load-bearing walls, we bring the structural and architectural details together to support Building Regulations approval and construction.

Structural calculations help determine how key elements of your project need to be designed and constructed.

​

Once the structural requirements are established, we produce the detailed architectural and structural drawings your builder needs on site.

 

This brings the design and engineering information together into a clear, coordinated set of drawings.

We then produce the detailed drawings builders need to carry out the work on site.

These combine the architectural design with the structural engineer’s calculations so everything is clear, coordinated, and ready to build.

FAQs

What are structural calculations?

Structural calculations determine the strength, size and requirements of structural elements within a building project, such as beams, foundations and load-bearing walls.

When do I need structural calculations?

They may be required when your project involves structural changes, including extensions, loft conversions, removing load-bearing walls or creating new openings.

Do I need structural calculations for Building Regulations?

Structural calculations are often required as part of the Building Regulations process where structural work is involved. The exact requirements will depend on your project.

Do I need a structural engineer for an extension?

Many extensions require structural engineering input for elements such as foundations, steel beams, roof structures and new openings. We can help coordinate this as part of your project.

Can you provide drawings for my builder?

Yes. We produce detailed drawings that combine the architectural design with the relevant structural information, giving your builder clear information to work from on site.

Where do you provide structural design support?

We're based in Leigh-on-Sea and coordinate structural design and calculations for projects across Essex, including Southend-on-Sea and surrounding areas.
