Structural engineers in Brentwood for home extensions across Essex

Building an extension can be beneficial for your family and the value of your property. Any building work that changes the appearance of your property from the outside will require a Local Authority Planning Permission Application. Furthermore, any structural changes to the building such as the removal of walls, alterations to roof structures or the installation of new steel joists, must comply with Building Regulations. Your Building Regulations application must prove that the proposed changes to the property will not compromise its structural integrity. To do this you will need a Structural Engineer.

A quality structural engineering company such as Essex Structural Engineers will accurately produce calculations and make recommendations of structural adaptations that should be made in order to maintain the proper support of the property. In some cases this may involve the installation of steel joists, columns, lintels or foundation reinforcement in order to create the space you want without compromising your vision. Essex Structural Engineers in Brentwood, can use advanced structural technology to accurately find the exact materials for your home extension or alteration using the most cost-effective solution.
