Common questions

Do I need structural calculations for work in Brighton?

Any work that removes or alters load-bearing structure needs calculations from a structural engineer, used for building control and on site. We coordinate that work alongside the design so the set holds together.

When does the Party Wall Act apply in Brighton?

It applies when work affects a shared wall or is close to a neighbour boundary. Notice has to be served on the neighbour. We flag whether it applies early, so it is handled in good order rather than late.

Is structural and party wall work part of the design stage?

Yes. It is part of getting to a construction-ready package. We coordinate it within the design and planning stage so your builder in Brighton receives a complete set.
