We undertake structural alteration building work. Structural work must follow the relevant engineer’s design and Building Control requirements where applicable.
Alter existing space
Create useful openings with project-specific control.
Structural alterations can change how spaces connect, but the solution is specific to the building. The work must be based on the relevant professional design, supplied details and applicable approvals—not general website guidance.
- More useful connections between spaces
- Work delivered against the agreed structural information
- Making good considered as part of the agreed alteration scope
