Frequently asked questions

What information is needed for structural design?

The architectural brief and relevant information about the site or building are required. The need for ground information, surveys or condition assessment is established for the specific project.

Can a load-bearing wall be altered without a review?

Changes to a load-bearing element require appropriate professional assessment and a design solution. Existing conditions need to be reviewed before the change.
