What Are Structural Calculations?
Structural calculations are technical assessments that determine how different parts of a building will respond to loads and stresses. These calculations ensure that beams, foundations, walls, floors, and roofs can safely support weight and comply with building regulations.
We typically produce structural calculations for:
- Load-bearing wall removal
- RSJ and steel beam installation
- Chimney breast removals
- New foundations and slabs
- Loft conversions
- Open-plan kitchen/living conversions
- New build structural frameworks
The output is a comprehensive structural report, ready to be submitted to building control or shared with your builder or architect.

Common Projects We Support
Removing Internal Walls
Planning an open-plan kitchen or living area? If the wall is load-bearing, you’ll need a structural assessment and RSJ beam spec before you can start. We can confirm whether a wall is structural and design the correct support solution.
Chimney Breast Removal
Removing a chimney breast requires careful planning to maintain the structural integrity of the surrounding walls and floors. We calculate what’s needed to support remaining loads.
New Build & Extension Structure
If you’re planning a house extension or new build, we can provide a full structural layout including foundations, beams, and roof structure.
Installing Steel Beams (RSJ)
We calculate beam size, span, load, and support points to ensure it’s safe, stable, and accepted by building control.
Loft Conversions
We provide the necessary calculations for floor joists, steel supports, ridge beams, dormers, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Yes — if the wall is load-bearing, you’ll need structural calculations and beam specs to satisfy building control before work begins.
Yes. During a site visit or by reviewing your plans, we can assess the wall and determine whether it carries structural load.
An RSJ (rolled steel joist) is a common structural beam used to support loads when walls are removed. We’ll calculate the correct size and spec for your project.
Most reports are completed within 3–5 working days after we have the necessary details. Urgent options are available.
Absolutely. We often work alongside existing architects or plans to provide the structural component only.
Yes — all reports are compliant with British Standards and building regulations and are ready to submit.
You’ll receive calculations for beam sizes, loads, supports, padstones, and relevant sections — along with diagrams if needed.
Fees vary based on complexity, but we offer transparent, fixed quotes after your consultation. Simple beam calculations are often more affordable than you’d think.
