 When planning a building project — whether it’s a home extension, loft conversion, renovation, or new build — one of the most crucial steps is ensuring the structural integrity of the work. That’s where a structural engineer becomes essential. While architects focus on design and aesthetics, and builders bring the plans to life, structural engineers ensure that everything stands safely and securely. They calculate the forces and loads at play and specify the materials, beams, and supports needed to keep your structure stable, compliant, and built to last. Why Structural Engineering Matters

Improper support or misjudged loads can lead to cracks, subsidence, or even structural failure. Getting the calculations right from the start avoids costly errors, delays, and potential hazards down the line. In the UK, building regulations often require structural calculations as part of the building control approval process — particularly when altering existing structures or adding new ones. Hiring a structural engineer early in your project helps:
