Client Brief:

The client approached us after receiving an unfeasible and overly complex design from another structural engineer. He needed a practical and cost-effective solution for removing four chimney breasts across two floors of his home.

Our Solution:

We attended the property the same day to assess the structure and proposed a revised design that was both structurally sound and buildable. We provided a clear quote covering both the design and construction aspects, which the client approved without hesitation.

Scope of Works:

• Structural design and calculations for safe chimney breast removal

• Liaison and coordination with building control

• Safe removal and disposal of chimney breasts at ground and first floor

• Supply and installation of steel beams

• Final building control approval

Outcome:

The project was delivered on time and within budget, with minimal disruption to the client. All works met the structural and compliance standards required by building control, and the client was extremely satisfied with the result.
