Civil Engineering
For over 10 years, the consultants at Civils Consulting have been involved in numerous civil engineering projects, working with developers, contractors, and builders as well as building owners and users.
Building a house extension in London is a great way to maximise space and add value to your home, resulting in a fantastic long-term investment — though an investment like this can prove daunting without professional advice to help you make the right choices. We help you make an informed decision on the most suitable extension for the space and flexibility you need.
The scope of our work ranges from small domestic alterations and extensions to large commercial schemes, including multi-storey structures. Our work consists of designs for building work, structural designs for building alterations, and appraisals of existing buildings in London and the surrounding areas.
Loft Conversions
Loft conversions are a great way of expanding your home's space without the hassle of moving or sacrificing your garden — with the added benefit of adding value to your property. It's a great solution if you're looking for an extra bedroom, playroom, or just more living space, simply by turning wasted loft space into a valuable asset.
We've been involved in hundreds of loft conversions, enabling us to offer the best advice and service whatever your needs. By matching materials within your property, we maintain the character and continuity of your home, creating a seamless transition between past and present.
Extension and conversion types we design: rear extensions, side infill extensions, double-storey extensions, rear dormers, Velux conversions, mansards, and hip-to-gable conversions.

How We Deliver Civil Engineering
A disciplined four-stage workflow designed for rapid statutory approval and seamless site execution.
Discovery & Scope Review
We begin with a thorough appraisal of your architectural plans, site constraints, and statutory requirements to confirm a tailored fixed-fee proposal.
Site Survey & Dimensional Appraisal
Where required, an engineer or surveyor visits your property to conduct precision laser measurements, load-path evaluations, and structural condition checks.
Detailed Calculations & CAD Drafting
Our team models the structural geometry according to British Standards & Eurocodes, producing full calculations, padstone schedules, and construction details.
Statutory Approval & Contractor Support
We submit your calculation package directly to Local Authority Building Control or your Approved Inspector, answering plan-check queries until final sign-off.

Common Questions About Civil Engineering
For standard residential structural alterations (such as steel beam sizing, load-bearing wall removals, and standard extensions), our typical turnaround is 2 to 5 working days from receipt of architectural drawings and site data. For time-sensitive construction programs, fast-track express turnarounds are available upon request.
