Structural Reports for Planning Purposes and Building Regulations

Sometimes you need a structural report or appraisal in order to prove structural adequacy or to assist you in getting Planning Permission for alterations. We can provide structural reports on the load-carrying capacity of floors, the load-bearing nature of walls, the suitability of foundations, and recommend any strengthening works that need to be carried out before work can progress or to ensure a property meets Building Regulations standards.

We have vast experience in the conversion of barns and other agricultural buildings and can provide detailed reports to support your Planning Application.

We will confirm at the pre-design stage whether your proposals are possible, and we can give advice on preliminary design to help with project costings, allowing contractors to more accurately price the works. We can also act as Contract Administrator and organise tenders, inspect ongoing progress, and ensure the project runs smoothly.

Whether you are looking to purchase a property, are selling your home, or have noticed cracking appearing around your building, we are able to provide you with detailed reports on all aspects of construction. Our reports generally include a full description of our findings as well as recommendations on how to proceed, which may include remedial works or, in some cases, further investigations.

We have a broad range of experience, particularly in the many historic buildings throughout the South West, which can suffer from a multitude of issues, including bulging walls, cracking, and roof spread.
