Structural calculations
From time to time your home extension/conversion may
require structural calculations to realize your
design. Any structural alteration made to
residential or commercial buildings, whether its a
small extension or removal of an internal load
bearing wall, needs Building Control approval.
Structural calculations should be carried out to
demonstrate compliance to the Local Authority and to
advise builders.

Enquire
Your
question
I have submitted my
building notice application for a loft conversion with
plans, they have now requested that we provide them with
structural calculations. can you help.
Our
answer
If you are making a
Building Regulation application, then issues like
this will be picked up by the local authority when
you submit your application. Invariably they will
want structural calculations to justify what you
intend doing, for this reason we provide structural
calculations with our full Building regulation
applications. In this situation you may send us your
drawings to prepare your steel calculations.
Structural
Calculations are required to meet Building Control Approval
Engineers satisfaction, and for the Builder/Contractor to
work from in making sure that any construction they
undertake is built structurally sound.
You will most
certainly require them for a Loft Conversion, and even a
small extension.
The
Structural Calculations are incorporated into the final
design drawings that will be submitted to
Building Control prior to construction commencing.
Starting
your building project:-
The building control of the
local borough must be notified for inspection of a
building project even though there are no needs for a
planning permission. A Certificate of completion should
be obtained, when the project is completed, from the
borough which would be vital for insurance cover,
selling the property and for any other legal
requirements
How to avoid problems in a building
project:-
It is very important and 'a must' to get
the details of a project right on paper, detail drawing,
before attempting to start a development. These
processes (plan, building regulation, specification and
calculation) must be done, even if you do not require
planning permission. Any ambiguity can cause a big
problem between you and the builder or between you and
the council and any problem can make you redoing the
work. Problems can delay a development and can
accumulate the cost of a project enormously. These are
common complications that we come across quite often.
Our job is to take care of you, to make you get the best
design out of your project and to protect you against
remedial works, unnecessary costs.
