The situation
An Edwardian mid-terrace property requiring conversion of the loft into a habitable bedroom. The architect required structural input for the ridge beam, new floor joists, staircase opening steel, and a rear dormer frame — coordinated with the planning drawings before Building Control submission.
Engineering scope delivered
Structural design for the ridge beam, new floor structure, trimming joists around the staircase opening, and the dormer structural frame. Calculations and coordinated structural drawings issued as a complete Building Control pack.
Project outcome
No Building Control queries. The structural package was issued to the contractor in time to proceed immediately after planning consent. Project completed on programme.
