Expert structural engineering designs and calculations
Your project may need structural designs and calculations as part of your building control application.
What is a structural design report?
A structural design report (also known as structural calculations) uses drawings and calculations to prove that the building work you are undertaking is structurally sound and that the finished building will be able to support itself under normal usage.
Structural design reports by CR Designs
Structural design reports by CR Designs are prepared by our experienced and fully-qualified structural engineers.
The report will include all the calculations and structural summary drawings required and will be ready to submit as part of the building control application in 2-3 weeks.
Planning drawings
When preparing your structural design report, our structural engineer can use drawings produced as part of our concept design & planning package or planning drawings you have had produced by a third party.
What is included in the structural design report?
The structural designs and calculations typically cover the following:
- Structural elements, such as walls, beams, columns (including size and design).
- Reinforcements, including the materials, such as concrete, steel or timber.
