What is Structural Design & Calculation?

Structural design and calculations help make sure your building stays strong and safe from start to finish, whether you’re building in Manchester, London, Birmingham or Liverpool.

We check how your structure will hold weight, like walls, roofs, furniture, people, and even wind or snow. Then, we work out the right size and type of materials like beams, columns, and foundations.

Our calculations give your builders clear instructions to follow and make sure everything meets UK safety rules and building laws. With this, your structure won’t just look good, it will last for years and stay safe for everyone inside.

Why Are Structural Design and Calculations Needed?

Structural design and calculations are key to making sure your build in Manchester, London, Birmingham or Liverpool is safe, legal, and cost-effective. Without them, you risk delays, extra costs, or even unsafe buildings. These calculations:

  • Keep Your Structure Safe – Make sure your building can handle weight, wind, and ground movement
  • Follow the Law – Meet UK Building Regulations and Eurocode standards
  • Save You Money – Use the right amount of material, not too much or too little
  • Help Get Faster Approval – Show local councils your structure is safe and ready to go
  • Keep Builders on Track – Give clear guidance so the job gets done right first time

Do You Need Structural Design and Calculations?

Yes, you’ll likely need structural design and calculations if your project in Manchester, London, Birmingham, or Liverpool includes:

  • Taking out load-bearing walls or making openings bigger
  • Adding a loft, building an extension, or adding another floor
  • Changing how the building is used, like turning an office into flats
  • Building something new, like a house or a shop
  • Digging out a basement or strengthening the foundations
  • Adding heavy items like steel beams or big glass walls
Why you can’t skip it:
  • Building Control requires it for approval
  • Prevents dangerous failures (cracks, collapses)
  • Saves money long-term by avoiding rebuilds/fines
  • Essential for insurance & resale
