Structural Engineering, Interior Design and Conservation
Working with Jagged Edge Design we have been carrying out the structural design, with alterations to a bungalow, removing the roof and adding a new first floor. The new first floor structure is in timber frame to reduce the additional weight. The works were being carried out by Inspired Build.
We have designed extensive alterations to this property in Somerford Keynes, working with Corinium Architectural Services. Internally, the property was reorganised, opening the spaces by removing a number of internal walls. The garages were incorporated to form additional rooms and an extension was added to the rear.
The Institution of Structual Engineers has produced a guide for employing Structural Engineers. This can be downloaded by following this link Building Confidence.

Progress in Eastcombe, Stroud with the construction of large retaining walls. The walls are on a steeply sloping site with the lower level incorporated into an extension to a house and the upper level forming a terrace accessed from the new first floor. Constructed from Stepoc hollow blocks with reinforcement they can be installed quickly without the need for shuttering.
The architect is Design for Living and the contractor is InShape Stroud.
