Understanding the work
Structural changes require a clear understanding of how loads travel through a building. Openings, foundations and alterations to walls should be assessed before removal or construction begins.
What your project may involve
- Structural openings and associated making good.
- Brickwork, blockwork and selected foundation-related works.
- Coordination of structural alterations within extension and refurbishment projects.
Important considerations
- Determine whether an engineer's design and calculations are required.
- Identify temporary support, access and safe sequencing requirements.
- Check Building Regulations, party-wall matters and relevant approvals.
Requirements depend on the property and the proposed work. Technical advice, statutory approvals or specialist trades may be needed before construction proceeds.
What to have ready
Provide photos and existing plans showing the wall or area to be altered. Explain the opening size or layout change you want without assuming a wall is non-load-bearing.
Discuss your requirements
Email us with the property location, the work you are considering and any useful drawings or photographs. This helps establish the scope before discussing next steps.
