Structural Alterations

Wall removals, steel beams and openings — engineered, installed and signed off.

Overview Typical: 1–3 weeks

Opening up a space safely means proper structural design, not guesswork. We work with structural engineers to specify beams and padstones, carry out the installation with correct propping, and see the work through building control sign-off.
