Details

Structures Made Easy Ltd. was approached by the architect to design both sub and super structures of the proposed project. The design included retaining walls, traditional strip foundations and underpinning to the party wall. The lower ground floor was extended and supported by a ‘box frame’ steel structure and steel beams under load bearing walls to achieve an open plan layout. Cranked beams were also introduced to support the roof of the loft conversion.
