Structural Engineering
Structural engineers often need to be aware of how a building was originally constructed to be able to create secure, reliable and sympathetic structural alterations. They also have to assess whether parts of a building will be able to handle the new use the building will be designed to have and able to cope with the work needed to be carried out throughout the building alterations.
Sometimes building owners can supply the original construction plans, however, with more contemporary buildings structural engineers often need to carry out investigations in order to understand how a building was initially constructed. Here at Ploughcroft we also work with fully qualified structural engineers to ensure the integrity of your building or house alterations project.
