The idea of extending your home is an exciting one no doubt.
As the saying goes; do not move, improve!
Not only do you get a fresh take on the family home with more space to breathe but, as an added bonus, you increase the value of the property.
It is a win-win…until some quite common issues arise that add to the expense and time consumption.
The whole exercise can become a headache, leaving people with ‘buyer’s remorse’ as they battle the desire to reverse the whole decision.
Only later do they realise that hiring a quality Structural Engineer could have saved them a whole world of pain.
It is helpful to know that any building work that alters the appearance of your property externally will need a Local Authority Building Regulation Application that will accurately detail the existing and proposed plans as well as a range of associated assessments.
When you glance around your property and make exciting plans for the place, it is easy to forget that any structural change to the building such as the removal of walls, modifications to roof structures or the installation of new steel joists (etc) must comply with Building Regulations.
It needs to be proven in the Building Regulations application that those proposed changes will in no way compromise its structural integrity.
In short – you will, absolutely, need a Structural Engineer.
With ADS Structural, you will have a first-class Structural Engineering firm providing accurate calculations along with considered recommendations in order to maintain the proper support for the property.
