Structural Works

Internal structural work does not always require planning permission, but it normally needs suitable structural design and Building Regulations approval. Listed buildings, external changes and some party wall situations can add further requirements. We work from the relevant professional information and coordinate inspections.

The site work may be relatively short, but the full programme also depends on engineering information, approvals, steel fabrication, access and making good. We confirm the sequence once these details have been reviewed.

It may be possible for contained work, but temporary supports, noise, dust and safety exclusion areas can make parts of the property unavailable. We assess this with the proposed sequence and explain whether moving out temporarily is advisable.

Structural drawings and calculations allow us to price the temporary works, steel or timber, installation, access and making good accurately. If information is still being developed, we make provisional items and exclusions clear.

We coordinate the engineer's design, temporary support, specialist trades, deliveries and building control inspections. The work is sequenced carefully, and surrounding areas are made good once the structural stage is approved.
