Structural calculations
We also offer structural engineering for structural calculations for new steel beam support for new openings in loading bearing walls for building control approval.
SAPs and Energy Statements
These statement submissions, which can also be referred to as Energy Strategy Reports, should demonstrate how specific local energy efficiency targets will be met.
A SAP rating is a calculation that is required in order to produce a Predicted Energy Assessment and an On Construction Energy Performance Certificate. Building Regulations require that a SAP calculation and a Predicted EPC is submitted for new dwellings prior to the commencement of work.
As accredited Energy Assessors we can produce Energy Statements and SAPs to meet planning /building control application regulations.
