Structural Engineer in Faversham
Looking for a professional structural engineer in Faversham?
Imperium Engineering provides structural engineering services for homeowners, architects, builders, developers and commercial clients across Faversham and the surrounding Kent areas.
Whether you are removing a load-bearing wall, installing a steel beam, planning an extension, converting a loft or investigating cracks and structural movement, we provide practical structural calculations, inspections and engineering design based on the existing property and proposed works.
We provide structural engineering support for a wide range of residential and commercial projects, including:
- Structural calculations and design
- Steel beam and RSJ calculations
- Load-bearing wall assessments
- Load-bearing wall removal
- Structural surveys and inspections
- House extension structural design
- Loft conversion calculations
- Foundation design
- Roof alterations
- Chimney and structural alterations
- Structural refurbishment
- Structural defect investigations
- Structural assessments
- Temporary works design
From a single beam calculation to engineering support for a larger renovation, every project is considered according to the existing structure and proposed works.
Structural calculations help establish how proposed building work affects the existing structure and how new loads should be supported.
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.
The resulting engineering information can then be provided to your architect, builder or other project professionals.
Steel Beam & RSJ Calculations in Faversham
Removing a load-bearing wall or creating a larger opening often requires a new supporting structure.
The appropriate beam and supporting arrangement depends on factors such as the span, loads, existing construction and how those loads are transferred into the building.
We provide steel beam and RSJ calculations in Faversham for suitable residential and commercial projects.
Typical applications include:
- Open-plan kitchen alterations
- Internal wall removal
- New structural openings
- House extensions
- Loft conversions
- Property renovations
- Door and window alterations
- Structural alterations
The design is based on the actual building and proposed works rather than applying a standard beam solution.
Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Faversham
Planning to remove a wall from your Faversham property?
Before work begins, it is important to establish whether the wall contributes to the structural support of the building and how the loads will be supported after the alteration.
We can assess suitable wall-removal projects and provide the relevant structural calculations and engineering information.
Where a steel beam or other supporting structure is required, the design needs to consider the loads being transferred and the supporting elements below.
Structural Surveys & Inspections in Faversham
Have you noticed cracks, movement, sagging floors, roof problems or another potential structural issue?
A structural inspection can help identify visible concerns and establish whether further investigation may be appropriate.
Imperium Engineering provides structural inspections and assessments for suitable residential and commercial properties in Faversham.
Depending on the reason for the inspection, areas considered may include:
- Cracking
- Structural movement
- Walls
- Floors
- Roof structures
- Beams
- Foundations
- Previous structural alterations
The scope of an inspection depends on the property and reason for the assessment.
Structural Engineer for House Extensions in Faversham
Planning a house extension in Faversham?
An extension can change how loads are transferred through the existing property and may introduce additional requirements for beams, openings, roofs and foundations.
We provide structural engineering support for:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Two-storey extensions
- Wraparound extensions
- New structural openings
- Roof alterations
- Foundation design
- Supporting beam design
Where architectural drawings are available, we can use them to develop the structural calculations and engineering design for the proposed works.
Loft Conversion Structural Design in Faversham
A loft conversion can involve significant changes to the existing roof and floor structure.
Depending on the proposed layout, engineering may be required for new floor joists, beams, dormers, roof alterations, openings and supporting elements.
We provide structural calculations and engineering design for suitable loft conversion projects in Faversham.
The design is developed around the existing property and proposed layout rather than applying a standard structural solution to every loft conversion.
Structural Engineering for Faversham Properties
Faversham has a varied mix of older homes, traditional properties, period buildings, terraces, converted properties and newer developments.
Properties may also have undergone extensions, renovations and structural alterations over their lifetime.
This means two properties that appear similar can have very different structural arrangements.
When developing a structural solution, we consider the existing construction, proposed alteration, loads, supporting elements and available drawings or site information.
Whether you are renovating an older home, removing an internal wall, extending your property or investigating cracking, the engineering requirements should be assessed on an individual basis.
Structural Engineering for Older Faversham Properties
Older properties can require particular consideration when structural alterations are proposed.
Previous building work may have changed the original arrangement of walls, floors, roofs or other structural elements.
For example, a wall that appears to be a simple internal partition may have a structural role because of previous alterations to the building.
Where appropriate, an inspection can help establish the existing arrangement before calculations are prepared for the proposed works.
Imperium Engineering provides structural calculations, inspections and engineering design for suitable alterations to existing Faversham properties.
