Single Storey Extension – Salford, Manchester
This Salford home has been transformed with a single-storey extension, creating a spacious, open-plan living area that enhances modern family living. The project involved modifications to the existing ground floor layout, requiring expert structural design to ensure lateral stability and long-term durability.
To bring this vision to life, PorthouseDean provided expert structural calculations, ensuring the steel beam reinforcements, foundation design, and load-bearing wall modifications were optimised for stability, compliance, and efficiency.
Expanding Space with Smart Structural Engineering
This extension was designed to:
✅ Create an open-plan living area – Seamlessly integrating kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces
✅ Introduce large glazing & bi-fold doors – Maximising natural light and outdoor connectivity
✅ Ensure structural stability – Using RSJs and steel beams to support wide-span openings
✅ Enhance property value – Adding long-term functionality and modern appeal
Precision Structural Engineering for a Secure & Efficient Build
Our contributions included:
✔ Structural calculations for the single-storey extension – Ensuring compliance and stability
✔ RSJ beam & steel design – Supporting large-span openings for open-plan living
✔ Load-bearing wall assessments – Safely modifying the existing structure
✔ Foundation analysis – Providing strength and stability for the extended footprint
With expert structural engineering, this Salford home now benefits from a modern, light-filled, and highly functional extension, perfect for family life and entertaining.
