Maximising your living space
For many people, it can be more cost-effective to improve your home than to move house. Increasing your living space or re-structuring your home layout can maximise your living space to make the best use of the room available to you.
However, if you are thinking of selling and moving somewhere new, maximising the living space of your house can increase its market value and you can often boost the value to more than cover what you spent on improvements.

Why you need our services
As structural engineers, we focus on the physical integrity of your building project and it is our job to produce designs that allow your property to maintain its strength and be able to handle the added loads and forces it will encounter from work such as a building extension or internal wall removal etc.
Many homeowners do not realise they need a structural engineer for their building project until they find out that their plans need Building Regulations approval and need to pass official scrutinisation to make sure that all safety measures are in place and the right strength and type of building materials will be used.
Our services are normally needed whenever there are structural changes being made to an existing property, or when a new property is being developed. So basically, our design plans will give you the right support layout and configuration.
