Structural Engineering Designed for Your New Home
Every new build project is different. The right structural solution depends on the architectural layout, ground conditions, proposed materials and how the building will carry loads safely from the roof down to the foundations.
We develop practical structural solutions that coordinate with the architectural design while providing the strength, stability and durability required for long-term performance.
We can review drawings, liaise with your architect and prepare structural calculations, drawings and technical information suitable for Building Control review and construction.
New build structural engineering
Structural Engineering Services for New Build Projects
A coordinated structural design brings together the foundations, frame, floors, roof and supporting elements so the building performs safely and can be constructed efficiently.
Foundation Design
Design of suitable strip, raft or pad foundations based on the proposed structure, available site information and ground conditions.
Steel Beam Design
Structural steelwork and beam calculations for open-plan layouts, large openings, concentrated loads and supporting construction.
Floor Structure Design
Design of ground floors, upper floors, joists, beams and load-transfer arrangements for the proposed construction.
Roof Structure Design
Structural design for traditional or trussed roofs, ridge beams, supporting members and overall roof stability.
Building Regulations Support
Structural calculations, drawings and technical information prepared for Building Control review and construction.
What the structural design may include
A Coordinated Structural Package for Construction
Our structural calculations consider the entire building, including the foundations, walls, floors, steel beams and roof, so every part works together safely.

Why Professional Structural Engineering Matters
Every new build home relies on a coordinated structural design. Foundations, load-bearing walls, floors, roof structures, steel beams and stability elements must work together safely to transfer loads through the building and into the ground.
Professional structural engineering helps reduce construction risk, avoid unnecessary structural changes on site and give your builder clear information to work from. It also provides the calculations and drawings commonly required for Building Regulations approval.
Structural safetyLoads and stability are assessed throughout the building.
Efficient constructionStructural arrangements are developed with buildability in mind.
Practical engineeringSolutions are coordinated with the architectural design.
Regulatory complianceInformation is prepared for Building Control technical review.

Frequently asked questions
New Build Structural Engineering FAQs
General guidance about new build structural calculations, foundation design, steelwork and the information required to begin.
Ask about your new buildA structural engineer is normally required to design and calculate the structural elements of a new home, including foundations, beams, floors, roof members, stability and load transfer.
The required calculations depend on the design and may include foundations, load-bearing walls, steel beams, columns, floor structures, roof members, connections and stability elements.
Yes. We can review the architectural drawings and coordinate the structural design with your architect or other members of the design team.
Yes. Foundation design can be provided using the available structural, site and ground-condition information. Additional site investigation information may be required for some projects.
Yes. We design structural steel beams, columns and associated support details where steelwork is required within the proposed new build.
Yes. PS Structural Ltd can prepare structural calculations, drawings and supporting technical information for submission to Building Control.
Yes. We support suitable self-build and bespoke residential projects, working with homeowners, architects, developers and contractors.
PS Structural Ltd provides UK-wide consultancy for suitable projects. The scope and available project information are reviewed before confirming how the work can be delivered.
