Measured loads.
Defensible design.
Professional structural calculations, member design and technical details for alterations, extensions, conversions and new-build elements.
Every structural element needs a traceable load path and a buildable result.
Structural calculations convert the proposed geometry, materials and design actions into verifiable member sizes, reactions and connection requirements. The analysis must reflect how the structure will actually be supported and constructed.
We prepare concise engineering packages for the agreed project scope, using relevant UK standards and clearly stated design assumptions.
Calculations for the structural elements that make the project work
The package is tailored to the building type, proposed works and information available for design.
Steel Beams & Columns
Member design for bending, shear, compression, stability and serviceability.
Timber Structures
Joists, rafters, purlins, trimmers and flitch solutions for the agreed geometry.
Foundations
Strip, pad and local foundation design based on actions and verified ground assumptions.
Masonry & Bearings
Wall, pier, bearing and padstone checks for concentrated structural reactions.
Connections
Bolted, welded and bearing details developed for the agreed structural arrangement.
Load Assessment
Dead, imposed, roof, wind and relevant concentrated actions assembled transparently.
A calculation package that connects analysis to construction
Outputs are organised so the assumptions, checks and structural details can be followed.
Calculation report
Design basis, actions, analysis, member checks and reaction summaries.
Structural drawings
Layouts, member references, supports and construction details.
Member schedule
Specified sizes, grades, materials and relevant design notes.
Design coordination
Interfaces between beams, walls, foundations, timber and connections recorded.
Four clear steps from information to design
Define the scope
Share the drawings, site information and structural elements requiring design.
Establish actions
Geometry, materials, load paths and relevant design actions are confirmed.
Analyse & check
Members, supports, bearings and connections are checked to the relevant standards.
Issue & coordinate
The calculation and drawing package is issued with clear assumptions.
The checks that control a reliable structural solution
The final design depends on verified geometry, materials, load paths and support conditions.
Reliable inputs
Dimensions, existing construction and support conditions must be verified.
Load continuity
Every reaction needs a suitable route through the building to the ground.
Serviceability
Deflection, vibration and movement can govern even where strength is adequate.
Buildability
Member size, access, splices, fire protection and installation sequence affect the solution.
Structural Calculations, clearly explained
Straight answers about calculations, approvals and starting the work.
What information is needed for calculations?
Architectural drawings, verified dimensions, photographs, proposed materials, support conditions and the intended structural arrangement are normally required.
Which standards are used?
Relevant UK-adopted Eurocodes, British Standards and Building Regulations guidance are used for the agreed design scope.
Are drawings included?
Structural drawings and details can be included and coordinated with the calculations as part of the agreed package.
Can you check an existing beam?
Yes, where the section, span, support arrangement, material and applied loads can be established reliably.
Will Building Control accept the calculations?
The package is prepared for the agreed regulatory purpose, but approval remains with the relevant Building Control body.
