The Varying Scale of Residential Projects

Residential projects in the UK vary widely in scope and complexity, and each type of project brings its own set of challenges that require specialist knowledge.

1. New Build Housing Developments
   Large-scale housing developments require robust structural designs that ensure the long-term stability of each home while optimising for cost and materials. From designing the foundation systems for multiple units to ensuring compliance with building regulations, structural engineers are at the heart of these large projects. Our team has worked on numerous developments, ensuring efficient designs that meet both developer and regulatory requirements.
2. Home Extensions and Loft Conversions
   Smaller residential projects, such as home extensions and loft conversions, are increasingly popular across the UK. While these projects are often less complex than new builds, they still require detailed structural planning, especially when altering the existing structure of a house. For example, removing load-bearing walls or adding new floors requires careful assessment to ensure the overall stability of the building. Our expertise allows us to develop tailored structural solutions that make these transformations safe and successful.
3. Restoration of Listed Buildings
   Working on listed buildings requires a delicate balance between preserving the historical integrity of the property and upgrading it to meet modern standards. Our 25 years of experience include working on Grade II listed properties, where we’ve designed sensitive interventions that protect the heritage of the building while improving its functionality. We understand the complexities of working with traditional materials and liaising with conservation officers to ensure that all work complies with heritage guidelines.
4. Apartment Conversions and Multi-Unit Residences
   Converting large properties or commercial buildings into multi-unit residential dwellings requires advanced structural analysis and design. These projects often involve major structural changes, including the installation of new load-bearing walls, floors, and staircases. Our team ensures that all these changes are safe, compliant, and deliver the desired outcomes.
