Structural Engineering
REMOVING A WALL OR EXTENDING AN OPENING?
Chances are you will need a steel beam to support the build.
Whether it is one individual steel beam you require or a complex engineering plan, our surveyor and partner structural engineers can help you.
Structural engineering represents this side of the building regulations. We offer a full structural engineering service.

How It Works
1. Site Survey – Norik Walter, our Surveyor & Consultant, visits your property to assess the work, take all site measurements and discuss what you want to achieve.
2. Structural Calculations – Your survey is passed to our partner structural engineers, who produce the beam sizes, calculations and drawings required for Building Control.
3. Coordination – We liaise directly with your architect, structural engineer and Building Control, handling everything needed to keep the project moving so you don't have to.
4. Installation – Our own team installs the steelwork, padstones and all supporting structural work, through to Building Control sign-off.
One point of contact from survey to completion. Free initial consultation – call 0800 024 8635.
Meet Your Surveyor
Norik Walter
has 44 years in the building industry, Norik has spent his career on the tools as well as on the drawings. Starting out as a labourer at 17 and qualifying through City & Guilds in carpentry, he went on to master bricklaying, groundworks and structural alterations, including projects abroad in Spain.
Over the decades he has personally installed countless steel beams, padstones, goalpost frames and complex temporary and permanent structural supports, from simple wall openings to large open-plan conversions, extensions and loft conversions.
That hands-on experience is what makes the difference at survey stage. Norik understands not just what the calculations require, but how the work will actually be carried out safely and efficiently on site, so there are no surprises once the build begins.
