PorthouseDean is on hand to help revamp, re-energise, and revitalise any property. When it comes to adding an extension, there are a number of factors that must be considered before work can get underway.

We are here to ensure that your project is able to go forward stress-free.
House Extension Structural Engineer Drawings & Calculations
Your project’s dedicated coordinator will work closely with architects and any other design professionals employed on the extension. They will aim to work together to help create a design that is aesthetically pleasing while ultimately being structurally sound.
When brought onto a project, a PorthouseDean structural engineer will bring expertise as well as a unique perspective on a number of factors. Key benefits include:
- Impact Assessment: An engineer will consider what impact, if any, an extension may have — will it cause any cracking to walls due to beam deflection, improper construction techniques, inadequate foundation sizing and settlement, etc.
- Implications of Design: Your project coordinator will pay particular attention to considering how an extension’s size and shape could affect design calculations, as well as if it will cause complications and additional costs.
- Quality Work: An independently audited ISO 9001:2015 quality management system ensures that any work we do is of the highest possible standard.
- Speed of Service: We provide you with a response from an initial enquiry within one working day, and quotes in two. We also offer a priority service for when you need your information ‘yesterday’.
