AI Structural Calculations Review (UK)
Send us your drawings and any existing calculations. A named structural engineer will review what you’ve got and quote the fastest compliant next step.
Typical reply target: 1 working day. Remote-first. Site visit only if needed.
If you’ve used AI tools (ChatGPT or similar) to generate structural calculations for a UK project, upload your drawings and output. We’ll review what’s usable, what’s missing, and what it will take to produce a submission-ready calculation pack.
Who this is for
- You have AI-generated beam/lintel/loft steel calcs and want a professional route to submission
- Building Control / Approved Inspector has asked for “structural calculations”
- You want a quick engineer review before you spend more time on drawings/building work
Typical domestic uses
RSJ / Steel Beam
Knock-throughs and load-bearing wall removals
New Openings
Lintels in loadbearing walls
Loft Steels
Trimming around stair openings
Bearing Checks
Padstones and point loads
Suitable for straightforward domestic alterations where drawings and dimensions are clear.
If the project is complex (uncertain load paths, significant lateral stability changes, unusual construction, limited access to verify existing structure), we’ll still help—expect it to move into redesign.
What you’ll get
- Engineer review of the information provided
- A clear “next step” outcome + a fixed quote to proceed
- If proceeding: an engineer-issued calculation pack suitable for submission to Building Control / Approved Inspector
- Named engineer + peer review on concept and final
- £500k Professional Indemnity
- A free change request included for standard domestic scope (where applicable)
What we need from you (upload checklist)
- Existing + proposed drawings (dimensioned) or a measured sketch with spans/bearings
- Photos of the area (especially supports/bearings)
- Any existing calculations (PDF, scans, screenshots)
- Any notes/assumptions used (loads, materials, spans, member sizes)
If something critical is missing, we’ll tell you what’s needed so you don’t waste time.
How pricing works
We price on scope clarity and complexity. You’ll receive a fixed quote after review. Where the route is straightforward, we keep it simple and competitive.
Turnaround options (capacity permitting): Standard / Priority / Rapid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sign off AI structural calculations?
We review AI output as supporting information. If we proceed, we either verify or redesign and issue our own pack.
Will Building Control accept AI-generated calculations?
Building Control typically relies on accountable, engineer-issued documents. We provide a calculation pack suitable for submission.
Can you do this without a site visit?
Often yes for standard domestic work with good drawings/photos. If key information can’t be verified remotely, we’ll advise the next step.
Do you submit to Building Control for me?
No. We produce submission-ready deliverables for you (or your designer/builder) to submit.
What if my AI calcs are wrong or incomplete?
We’ll tell you what fails and quote the fastest compliant route to correct it.
Ready to move this forward?
Suitable for submission to Building Control / Approved Inspector. Approval is decided by Building Control.
