Engineering scope delivered
Assessment of the existing floor structure against residential imposed loading, confirmation of adequacy, design of load-bearing partition arrangements, and a structural report for the Building Control submission.
Project outcome
Building Control submission approved. The structural assessment confirmed that no major structural intervention was required — directly affecting the project's financial viability.
