Our simple 5 step process covers everything you need:

Initial Consultation

1. Initial Consultation
Our process begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your needs and objectives. During this meeting, we’ll assess your project requirements and explain the next steps in detail, ensuring you feel confident moving forward.

2. On-Site Measurement & Structural Assessment
Precision is key when it comes to structural changes. Our team conducts detailed on-site measurements to ensure all calculations are accurate and compliant with building regulations. Where practical, we also perform a comprehensive structural assessment, analysing the building’s integrity and providing recommendations for necessary supports before removing the load-bearing wall.
