Beam Calculations in Yeovil

If you are making significant alterations or extensions to your property, you are likely to need to install supporting beams (usually RSJs/I-beams) and connections between new and old beams. Whether you are knocking down walls, opening up a kitchen, removing a chimney breast or changing the layout of your home, Yeovil Surveyors Network can tell you which structures are load-bearing and what structural supports need to be put in place. If you are looking into carrying out a basement, garage or loft conversion, a structural engineer will be needed to provide structural calculations for new floors, roofs and staircases.

Professional calculations of beam, padstone and column requirements by a chartered structural engineer not only ensure that your property remains structurally sound, they are also needed for getting Building Regulation approval from Building Control.

Yeovil Surveyors Network work closely with the appointed architects, builders and homeowners to ensure conformity of design.

Our engineers will always visit site ensuring that the most suitable beam is designed the first time. They will check the loadings involved and review the structure of the surrounding building to check its suitability.

Your builders may also need steel fabrication drawings, steel beam splices & connection calculations. Yeovil Surveyors Network ’ Chartered Engineers will support you with any project, large or small. If required, we can manage the process from start to finish, liaising with builders from concept through to completion.

Our calculations and design notes should be attached to your local authority building regulation application.
