Structural Engineering Service

Barn Conversions & Refurbishments

Conversion and refurbishment projects often need new structural support to work carefully around retained fabric, older construction and hidden site constraints.

Overview

Clear structural design for approval and site.

Structural design for conversions, refurbishments and integrating new structure into existing buildings. BJS Engineering keeps the design package practical, properly evidenced and focused on what the homeowner, architect, builder and building control team need to move the project forward.

Structural calculations and drawings for altered existing buildings

The aim is a concise, buildable answer rather than a bulky report that is difficult to use on site.

Details for steelwork, timber strengthening and load transfer

The aim is a concise, buildable answer rather than a bulky report that is difficult to use on site.

Practical coordination with architects and contractors

The aim is a concise, buildable answer rather than a bulky report that is difficult to use on site.

Process

A straightforward route from information to answer.

The best starting point is usually a drawing pack, photos of the existing building and a short note explaining what needs to change.

01

Understand the existing building, retained elements and proposed use.

02

Develop a structural approach that works with the existing fabric.

03

Issue details that help the project move through approval and site.
