For Building Regulations approval, a structural design must be proven. Without that loft conversion work cannot progress.
To design the new floor and roof support and provide calculations for submission to your local building control, you need a structural engineer. On the off chance that you don’t do this, you might find it challenging to sell your home from here on out, and it won’t increase the value of your property. As a result, your house would lose its value if the loft conversion is done without a structural engineer.
According to the reports and layout that is sent by the structural engineer, to the construction team and the building regulation officer, the construction team works and builds. Building regulation officer then checks the work to make sure the work is consistent. Structural Engineers also help in designing the foundations for external structures like balconies or walls that are attached to existing buildings and need more support because of the extra load put on them by adding loft space to those buildings.
A Structural Engineer will help you with forms for Building Regulation applications. This includes the plans and calculations that your local authorities need to make sure your loft conversion meets the requirements of building regulations and that it’s safe to go ahead.
Loft conversion is an efficient way to increase space in a home without having to spend lots of money on extension, which is also a hassle. But loft conversion is not for every house. There are various factors that need to be considered before moving forward with the conversion. Structural Calculations is the first step for that. A structural engineer takes a look at the plan and considers the entire situation around the site, and then uses mathematical formulas based on the plan to create a structural report and a layout. All loft conversions will need the magic (calculations and report) of a structural engineer. During the process of conversion, significant changes are made that alter your home’s structural integrity. How much that impact would be is what the structural calculations are for.
Yes, of course! Loft Conversion is a complicated process which needs the strong basis of calculations, which can only be possible to accomplish by a structural engineer. Obviously, you should consult a residential structural engineer before even considering a conversion.
You need a structural engineer for all types of loft conversions and extensions. You are going to need a structural engineer to change the size of any structural beams if required.
It doesn’t matter what alterations you’re making, you will need structural engineers to be sure that the changes you make don’t affect the building or the property. Structural engineers analyses, calculates the work and the alterations and understands the current position of the building to make sure the changes done will be safe.
