Structural Engineer in Hampstead Garden Suburb: Working Within the Rules

Structural engineering in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Hampstead Garden Suburb is a designated conservation area with many listed buildings. Alterations are controlled not only by the council but also by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust, which manages a scheme of management for the area.

Approval comes first

Before spending on detailed structural design, confirm what the Trust and Barnet Council will accept. Structural design then follows the approved scheme, rather than the other way round.

Minimal intervention

In period buildings the aim is to alter as little original fabric as possible. We look for structural solutions that keep new beams and openings discreet and respect the existing walls and roof.

Working with your architect

Architects working in the Suburb know the design rules well. We coordinate structure with their drawings so that what is approved is also what can be built safely.
