Structural Engineer in Gillingham
Looking for a professional structural engineer in Gillingham, Kent? Imperium Engineering provides structural engineering services for homeowners, architects, builders, developers and commercial clients across Gillingham and the wider Medway area.
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 based on the requirements of your property.
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 removal
- House extensions
- Loft conversion structural design
- Structural surveys and inspections
- Foundation design
- Roof alterations
- Structural refurbishment
- Temporary works design
From a straightforward internal alteration to a larger extension or refurbishment, we provide structural engineering information tailored to the project.
Structural calculations help determine how proposed building work will affect the existing structure and what structural elements may be required.
Imperium Engineering can prepare calculations for steel beams, columns, load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, foundations and structural openings, depending on the scope of the project.
If you already have architectural drawings, we can review the proposed arrangement and develop the structural design required for the works.
Steel Beam & Load-Bearing Wall Design
Removing a load-bearing wall can change the way loads are transferred through a building.
Before creating a larger opening, the existing structure and proposed support should be assessed. We can provide the appropriate steel beam calculations and structural design for suitable projects.
This can be particularly relevant to open-plan renovations, kitchen alterations, extensions and property refurbishments.
Structural Surveys & Inspections in Gillingham
If you have noticed cracks, movement, sagging floors or another potential structural problem, a structural inspection can help establish the condition of the affected structure.
We provide structural surveys and inspections for residential and commercial properties in Gillingham.
The scope of the inspection depends on the property, the visible symptoms and the 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 change the loads carried by 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 Gillingham Properties
Every property has its own structural characteristics. The existing construction, proposed alterations and available drawings or site information all need to be considered when developing an appropriate structural solution.
Whether you are opening up an internal space, extending your home, altering a roof or investigating movement or cracking, our approach is to assess the requirements of the individual project and provide practical engineering information.
