What Liverpool clients say
Feedback from homeowners and builders using our RSJ design and structural calculations in Liverpool.
We opened up the kitchen and dining room in a semi in Woolton. The RSJ design came back quickly and Building Control had no comments on the calculations.
Emma – Woolton
★★★★★
Our builder asked for proper steel beam calculations before ordering steel for a rear extension in Crosby. The beam sizes and padstones were clear and everything fitted the drawings on site.
Paul – Crosby
★★★★★
Loft conversion in a terrace off Smithdown Road. The engineer coordinated with our architect and the RSJs and cranked beams worked without any changes once the roof started coming off.
Hannah – Wavertree

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about RSJ design Liverpool, steel beam calculations and structural calculations for local projects.
How fast can you provide RSJ design in Liverpool?
Most wall removal and small RSJ design jobs are turned around within 24 to 72 hours once we have drawings, photos and basic measurements. Full structural calculations for larger extensions or loft packages usually take five to seven working days.
Will Liverpool Building Control accept your calculations?
Yes. Structural calculations follow current Eurocodes and are laid out in the format Building Control teams expect. If your inspector has any questions we will reply to them directly.
What information do you need from me to start?
We need the project address, a short description of the work, good quality photos and basic sizes of the wall or opening. If you have architect plans or estate agent floor plans, send those as well and we will base our RSJ design and steel beam calculations on them.
Can RSJ design Liverpool projects be done from photos only?
Many domestic projects can be handled from photos, sketches and clear measurements. If the structure is complex or access is limited, we may suggest a site visit or measured survey before we finalise the structural calculations.
