Whether you are removing a load-bearing wall, planning an extension, converting a loft or investigating a structural concern, we provide practical structural calculations, surveys and engineering design tailored to your property and project.
We provide structural engineering support for a wide range of residential and commercial projects, including:
- Structural calculations and design

From an internal alteration to a larger extension or refurbishment, we can provide the structural engineering information required for your project.
Structural calculations may be required when proposed building work changes the way loads are transferred through an existing property.
Imperium Engineering can prepare calculations for steel beams, columns, load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, foundations and structural openings, depending on the requirements of your project.
If you already have architectural drawings, we can review the proposed layout and develop the structural design required for the works.
Steel Beam & Load-Bearing Wall Design
Removing a load-bearing wall can significantly change the way loads are supported within a property.
Our engineers can assess the proposed opening and provide the appropriate steel beam calculations and structural design for suitable projects.
This can be relevant to open-plan renovations, kitchen alterations, extensions and other refurbishment projects.
Structural Surveys & Inspections in Chatham
If you have noticed cracks, movement, sagging floors or another potential structural issue, a structural inspection can help establish the condition of the affected structure.
We provide structural surveys and inspections for residential and commercial properties in Chatham.
The scope of an inspection depends on the property, visible symptoms and reason for the assessment. Where appropriate, our findings can help determine whether further investigation, monitoring or remedial structural work may be required.
Structural Engineering for Extensions & Loft Conversions
Extensions and loft conversions can affect existing walls, floors, roofs and foundations.
We provide structural engineering support for:
- Rear and side extensions
- Loft conversions
- Internal wall alterations
- New door and window openings
- Chimney breast alterations
- Roof modifications
- Floor strengthening
- Structural refurbishment
- New structural elements
Early structural input can help identify beam, support and foundation requirements before construction begins.
Structural Engineering for Chatham Properties
Every property presents its own structural requirements. The existing construction, proposed alterations and available drawings or site information all need to be considered before an appropriate structural solution is developed.
Whether you are opening up an internal space, extending your home, altering the roof or investigating cracking or movement, we focus on the requirements of the individual building and proposed works.
