Temporary Works and Reinforcement Solutions

In addition to permanent designs, we also provide support for temporary works required during construction. This includes the design of shoring and propping systems that safeguard the property during excavation and building phases. We ensure that all reinforcement solutions meet the highest safety standards and maintain the structural stability of your home throughout the build process.

Tailored Structural Engineering for Every Extension

No two extensions are the same, which is why we offer bespoke designs for a wide range of projects, including:

  • Single-Storey Extensions: Maximise your ground-floor space with a well-structured design that enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

  • Double-Storey Extensions: Increase your living space across multiple levels while maintaining the integrity of your home’s existing structure.

  • Side Return Extensions: Optimise unused space along the side of your property with a design that maximises light and space.

  • Rear Extensions: Extend the back of your property to create larger living areas or open-plan designs that connect seamlessly with outdoor spaces.

Leaving nothing to chance

Our approach to home extensions begins with a thorough structural assessment of your property. We consider existing structures, load-bearing walls, and foundations to design an extension that integrates seamlessly with your current home. We work closely with architects and contractors, ensuring the design is functional, buildable, and adheres to all local planning regulations.

Every home extension project requires a thorough understanding of the property’s structural integrity. We perform detailed site investigations to assess the strength of foundations, load-bearing walls, and ground conditions. This ensures that the extension is structurally sound and complies with London building regulations, including party wall agreements where necessary.
