What Sheffield clients say
Homeowners and builders using our RSJ design, steel beam calculations and structural calculations in Sheffield.
We opened the kitchen and dining room in a terrace near Hunters Bar. The RSJ design was clear, the steel arrived on time and Building Control signed it off without any queries.

★★★★★
Our rear extension in Hillsborough needed several beams and a corner support. The structural calculations were detailed and our builder said the drawings were straightforward to follow.
Chris - Hillsborough
★★★★★
Loft conversion in a 1930s semi in Woodseats. The engineer coordinated with our architect so the RSJs and cranked beams fitted inside the roof without awkward boxing.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers on RSJ design Sheffield, steel beam calculations and wider structural calculations.
How fast can you provide RSJ design Sheffield services?
Most wall removal and small RSJ design jobs are turned around within 24 to 72 hours once we have good photos, measurements and any drawings. Full structural calculations for larger extensions or loft packages usually take between five and seven working days.
Will your structural calculations be accepted by Sheffield Building Control?
Yes. We use current Eurocodes and set the calculations out in the format Building Control teams expect. If your inspector has questions we speak to them directly and provide any extra information that is needed.
What information do you need to start an RSJ design Sheffield job?
We need the property address, a short description of the proposed work, clear photos and basic sizes of the wall or opening. Architect plans or estate agent floor plans are very useful and we base the steel beam calculations on those wherever possible.
Can you design RSJs from photos only or is a site visit required?
Many domestic projects in Sheffield can be handled from photos, sketches and clear measurements without a site visit. Where structure is complex or access is limited we may suggest a visit or measured survey before we finalise the structural calculations.
