Structural Calculations

Structural calculations are a fundamental requirement for any construction project involving structural alterations, extensions or new builds. At Offset Engineering, our chartered structural engineers produce comprehensive, building control-ready calculations that give you and your project team full confidence in your structural design.

What Are Structural Calculations?

Structural calculations are detailed engineering documents that demonstrate the adequacy of a structural element or design. They assess the loads acting on a structure and verify that beams, columns, foundations and other structural components are of sufficient size and strength to carry those loads safely. Building control bodies require these calculations as part of the approval process for most structural works.

When Do You Need Structural Calculations?

Structural calculations are required for a wide range of projects, including wall removal and beam installations, loft conversions, house extensions, chimney breast removals, new build construction, structural alterations to existing buildings and any works that affect the load-bearing elements of a property. Our engineers will advise you on the specific requirements for your project.
