Structural Engineer in Medway
Looking for a professional structural engineer in Medway? Imperium Engineering provides structural engineering services for homeowners, architects, builders, developers and commercial clients throughout Medway and the surrounding Kent 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 your property and proposed works.
We provide structural engineering support for residential and commercial projects, including:
- Structural calculations and design
- Steel beam and RSJ calculations
- Load-bearing wall assessments
- House extension structural design
- Loft conversion calculations
- Structural surveys and inspections
- Foundation design
- Roof alterations
- Structural refurbishment
- Temporary works design
Our role is to understand the existing structure and proposed works before providing the engineering information required for your project.
Structural calculations are commonly required when building work changes or adds to the structural elements of a property.
Imperium Engineering can prepare calculations for steel beams, columns, load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, foundations and structural openings, depending on the project requirements.
If you already have architectural drawings, we can review the proposed arrangement and develop the structural design needed for the works.
Steel Beam & Load-Bearing Wall Design
Removing a load-bearing wall can change the way loads are transferred through a building. The proposed opening therefore needs to be considered alongside the existing structure.
We can assess suitable wall-removal projects and provide steel beam calculations and structural design where required.
This can be relevant to:
- Open-plan renovations
- Kitchen alterations
- Extensions
- Internal refurbishments
- New structural openings
- Property renovations
Structural Surveys & Inspections in Medway
If you have noticed cracking, movement, sagging floors, damaged structural elements or another potential structural issue, a structural inspection can help establish the condition of the affected area.
We provide structural surveys and inspections for residential and commercial properties across Medway.
The scope of an inspection depends on the property and reason for the assessment. Where appropriate, our findings can help identify whether further investigation, monitoring or remedial structural work may be required.
Structural Engineering for Extensions in Medway
Planning a house extension in Medway?
An extension can affect existing walls, floors, roofs and foundations. New structural elements may therefore be required to connect the proposed construction safely with the existing building.
We provide structural engineering support for:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Wraparound extensions
- Single-storey extensions
- Two-storey extensions
- New openings
- Foundation design
- Roof alterations
We can work from architectural drawings where available and provide the relevant structural calculations and design information for the project.
Loft Conversion Structural Engineering
Converting unused roof space into living accommodation can involve significant structural changes.
Depending on the existing building and proposed design, a loft conversion may require changes to floor joists, roof structures, beams, supports and load paths.
We can provide structural calculations and engineering design for suitable loft conversion projects across Medway.
Structural Engineering for Medway Properties
Medway covers a broad area containing a mixture of residential and commercial properties.
Every building is different. The existing construction, proposed alteration, available drawings and site information should all be considered when developing an appropriate structural solution.
Whether your project is in Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood or another part of Medway, our approach is to provide engineering advice and calculations based on the individual project rather than relying on a standard solution.
Residential & Commercial Structural Engineers
We work with:
- Homeowners
- Landlords
- Architects
- Builders
- Developers
- Commercial property owners
For residential properties, we support extensions, loft conversions, renovations, wall removals and other structural alterations.
