Do you need a structural engineer for a house extension?

Yes – if you’re building a house extension, a structural engineer is essential. Structural engineers play a crucial role in making sure new structures are safe and capable of supporting loads from walls, roofs, floors and other structural elements. 

Even a small extension will likely involve modifications to existing load-bearing walls or require the use of steel beams, all of which must be properly calculated and documented.

At IKT Consulting, we’ll help you understand what is structurally feasible and the best approach for your next extension. We’ll spend time assessing your property, identifying any structural requirements and provide expert recommendations to give you peace of mind before any construction begins. 

So, whether you’re altering the layout of a room or adding a brand new part of your property, we will work with you to make sure everything complies with UK building regulations and standards. 

Structural calculations and drawings for a house extension and alterations

Structural calculations and drawings are one of the most critical components of any house extension or alteration project. These documents form the foundation of your building control application and guide your builders through the construction phase.

At IKT Consulting, we provide fully compliant structural calculations and drawings for house extensions. We will:

• Visit your site to assess your plans
• Create load calculations for beams, columns and foundations 
• Generate structural drawings showing steelwork, reinforcements and wall details 
• Liaise with your architect and builders to ensure designs are integrated smoothly and that other regulations are compliant 
• Provide ongoing support during construction if adjustments are needed 

Often, these calculations will then be used to create a structural report that is usually needed to prove your project is safe. All our reports are clear and accurate, with our team ensuring they’re created in a timely manner to keep your project on schedule.
