Structural Engineering
Many refurbishment projects such as opening the rear of a house to fit bi-fold doors or extensions, internal layout changes including removal of structural walls require the skills and expertise of a structural engineer.
If as part of your project you need structural steel or other structural elements designed then please get in touch. Our Panel Engineers are tried and tested through delivery of numerous projects and trusted for their sage advice, clear calculations, drawings and designs.
Whether it is a single beam or a multiple component structural system our engineers will be able to work with you in conjunction with our Architectural Team to provide a full set of construction drawings.
Use our form to submit details of your project and we will return a price for you to complete the structural elements.
