What Nottingham clients say
Feedback from homeowners and builders using our RSJ design and structural calculations in Nottingham.
We opened up the kitchen and dining room in a 1930s semi in West Bridgford. The RSJ design arrived quickly and Building Control were happy with the calculations.
James – West Bridgford
★★★★★
Our builder wanted structural calculations before ordering steel for a rear extension in Beeston. The beam sizes and padstones were clearly shown and fitted the drawings with no issues on site.
Rebecca – Beeston
★★★★★
Loft conversion on a terrace near the city centre. The engineer coordinated with our architect and we knew the RSJs and cranked beams would work before any roof timbers were removed.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers on RSJ design, steel beam calculations and structural calculations for Nottingham projects.
How fast can you provide RSJ design in Nottingham?
Most wall removal and small RSJ design jobs are turned around within 24 to 72 hours once we have the drawings, photos and key measurements. Larger work such as full structural calculations for extensions or lofts usually take five to seven working days.
Will the calculations be accepted by Building Control?
Yes. The structural calculations follow current Eurocodes and are laid out in a way Building Control officers expect to see. If your inspector has any questions we will respond directly to them.
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 use them as a base for the RSJ design.
Can you work from photos only or do you need a site visit?
Many domestic projects in Nottingham can be handled from photos, sketches and clear measurements. If the structure is complicated or access is limited, we may suggest a site visit or measured survey before we finalise the structural calculations.
