Our technical drawings are accepted by Building Control across Wigan, St Helens, Bolton, Leigh, and the wider North West, making the approval process smooth and straightforward.

✅ Structural Calculations for Building Control Approval

Need calculations for steel beams, masonry walls, or foundations? No problem. We work with qualified structural engineers to provide all necessary structural calculations for your project, ensuring it’s safe, compliant, and ready to build.

Foundation design for ground stability
Load-bearing wall assessments

Builder-Ready Drawings for Accurate Quotes

Our plans aren’t just for the council — they’re for your builder, too. We provide high-quality, clearly labelled drawings that allow builders to quote accurately and build confidently. This reduces costly errors, avoids guesswork, and ensures that your finished build looks exactly how you imagined.

We’ll use this information to produce accurate extension plans and building regulations drawings — all without the need for an in-person visit. It’s safe, efficient, and ideal for straightforward builds.
