I would not risk not using a structural engineer personally, clay lump is incredibly heavy! Good luck with the project. Nigel Hi Jen,

I am afraid we do not do any extensions, just re-modelled the internal layout of the house. I would not risk not using a structural engineer personally, clay lump is incredibly heavy! Good luck with the project.

We have had planning consent for our proposed extension ( which we intend to do our selves) but are experiencing problems with the calculation of weight paths for when we knock through the gable wall........any ideas? We have been advised to use a the expensive services of a structural engineer but according to the buidling control at the the local planning office, we can do the calulations ourselves and they will check them? We would be very grateful for any advice you can offer. Many thanks Jen Hello there,
