Structural Alterations

Structural design for alterations, openings, extensions, removals and changes to existing buildings.

Alterations to existing buildings depend on understanding what is already there. JMS assesses load paths, existing materials, previous alterations and the proposed design before recommending a structural solution.

The service covers wall removals, new openings, extensions, loft alterations, internal remodelling, support beams, posts, lintels and local strengthening.

JMS provides calculations and practical details for building control, contractors and the wider design team, helping projects move from idea to safe construction information.

Where existing conditions are uncertain, the team can advise on opening-up works, inspections and proportionate design assumptions.
