Do I need a calculation?

2 years ago

The floors in my house are suspended timber and are insulated underneath. All the habitable rooms are "upstairs" with cellars below which could be converted into habitable rooms eventually. We will shortly be having UFH installed "upstairs" These are EPS overlay panels. I would like to lay a tiled floor in some of the rooms. The tiles I prefer are 10mm x 1200mm x 600mm, made from porcelain. Do I need a Structural Engineer to calculate the weight that the timber floor can take? I am concerned that the floor may not be able to accomodate the additional weight of tiles plus adhesive and grout.
Any advice welcome.
Thankyou

Calculating cost of a refurbrbishment

Hi AC, A really good question. All too often I meet people who have tried to do parts of the planning work themselves (eg. planning drawings, budgeting and engaging a builder) only to discover when it is too late that the things they have missed taking account of will then cost them time and expense. Frequently, the first figure quoted by anyone is what the client will expect to pay, however without considering all the detail there is a great risk of underestimating at the outset. It is far better to be in possession of all the information and to then look at what you can afford to live without, rather than running out of money part way through a project and having compromises forced upon you. There are many designers and architects who will provide planning application drawings but then pass on the detailed design responsibility to the builder who will carry out the work. This leaves the quality of product unspecified at the time of the builder providing a price and the client open to the cost of extras to achieve the finish they were expecting or accepting something below their initial expectation. In addition, many designers don't have the skill base to provide cost advice to the clients and without that initial cost planning by a professional, the clients have no benchmark to know if the prices they have been given by the builders represent good value. It can be really valuable to consult with an independent Chartered Quantity Surveyor. They will review the entire scope of works and provide you with a detailed cost plan of what to expect to pay for the work you are hoping to carry out. On extension/refurbishment projects, I frequently find that the work not specifically relating to the extension can end up totalling over 50% of the project cost; rewiring (partial or full rewiring of the property), central heating, floor finishes, new fire doors (e.g. If you are creating a loft extension, you will need to consider the fire protection to the whole house and not just the loft). A good surveyor/designer will also help you to prioritize your expenditure on the elements of the project which will best provide you with a return on your investment. As well, a good surveyor will be able to suggest similar alternatives which will provide the functions you most value, without committing you to unnecessary expense. This is known as Value Management. We carry out projects ranging from affordable rental properties through to luxury living and leisure destinations. Everyone's values and needs are individual, but the approach and processes are the same throughout. The photos below are from a rental development project in West London. We converted a tired and outdated pensioner's home into a modern, warm and efficient development for professionals and/or families. I am sure that you will agree that the project has provided a contemporary and stylish environment. Having prepared a cost plan and discussed the specifications we set a pre-defined budget for the project, which would stack up with the clients' investment appraisal. The fixtures and finishes were specified to achieve a quality finish without incurring excessive cost in areas which would not yield a return on investment. With the funding for the budgeted amount in place, we were able to produce a tender, obtain competitive quotations and award o contract to the successful bidder. Some quotes were above the estimated costs, but the cost plan served to flag up which builders were quoting excessive sums in hope of securing work at a very high margin. Without that original cost plan, there would have been no control on which to judge if the quotations were value for money. Most importantly, the final price of the project on completion (as opposed to the builder's starting price) was contained within the original budget, enabling the client to invest the un-spent remaining contingencies on their next investment. Please feel free to contact us to see how we can help you develop a robust cost plan and budget for your project. Kind Regards Phil Hall MRICS plan project management Before: After:

Knocking through - do I need an architect?
Q

Sounds like you are approaching this sensibly - as your Partner is a builder - I would imagine they have sourced a SE to do the calculations and then he will know what materials are required etc. From a design point of view - it might help you to have things drawn up ( like the drawings on our pro page ) so you can see the effect the new opening will have on the flow of the home - and see what it would look like before you start . If you are coupling this with a re jig of your existing cabinets or a complete new kitchen - then having design drawing for this should help.

calculating length of shadow from an extension

A reliable way to do this and have some fun with shadows at different times of the day and year (particularly solstices), is to find a 3D house modeler who can place out your house and adjacent ones in a cad model. You need latitude location esp. Such as google address. You'd then be able to look at shadows from different vantage points, etc. If you'd be interested, check out my Fiverr profile here and we can have a chat.

Help with structural engineer calculations
Q
Comments (6)
Hi there, I have had a chance to chat with one of our Building Regulation officers who has come back with some pointers for you. "The cross sectional dimensions are shown on the structural engineer's drawings and the length of the beam is to be confirmed by the builder on site - It's very important that the builder confirm this length with site measurements of the actual opening (plus bearing at each end) to avoid any risk of the beam not fitting well. It will always be the builder's responsibility in general to ensure that correct materials are ordered. If the length being requested is purely for pricing for the steel rather than ordering; then the dimension of the space can be requested from your architectural designer. Hope that helps, but if you need help with anything else or have any other quesions, do not hesitate to pop us a message or book in a free advice call. Bríd and The Resi Team.
