We specialise in home extensions and loft conversions. Your Local Authority will check that your design has been carried out by a competent person. Your work will be carried out by Mike Byfield, who is a Chartered Structural Engineer, so this process is easier and it enables Romsey Structural to obtain Professional Indemnity Insurance. We are not VAT registered and the rough prices are:
By law, you must obtain Building Control Approval when making structural alterations and the work must be checked by a Building Inspector, who will issue a completion certificate when satisfied. This should be lodged with the deeds of your home as it will be needed when sold. The package supplied by Romsey Structural will help you gain approval for Part A of the Building Regulations (Structural Safety) and the routes to approval are: (a) Full Plans Approval, and (b) a Building Notice.
For Full Plans Approval, your Local Authority Building Control will check the architectural plans and structural design prior to construction. This takes approximately 6 weeks and it is recommended that approval is gained before commencing work, since they may stipulate changes. For small alterations like removing a wall between your dining room and kitchen, a Building Notice is sufficient. The design package supplied by Romsey Structural will be checked by your Building Inspector on site and only a few days notice is normally required.
- £150 per steel beam designed
- £175 for a site visit to measure up
