Structural Assessment Services – Ensuring Safety, Compliance, and Longevity

At Architech2Engineering, our structural assessment services provide property owners, developers, and contractors with a clear understanding of a building’s stability, safety, and compliance. Whether it’s a new build using structural insulated panels (SIPs), a renovation project, or a post-event inspection, our team delivers precise evaluations to meet UK building regulation standards, including BS 6180 guidelines for glass balustrade loadings.

What Is a Structural Assessment?

A structural assessment is a detailed evaluation of a building’s integrity, stability, and load-bearing capacity. It involves thorough inspections of:

Foundations – checking for cracks, settlement, and uneven support.
Walls & Roofs – detecting bowing, sagging, leaks, or structural insulated wall panels issues.
Floors & Beams – analysing rolling flooring systems and checking for deflection.
Materials & Components – identifying wear, corrosion, or damage in construction materials.

These inspections are essential for structural foundation assessments, structural safety assessments, and compliance with national building codes.

When Do You Need a Structural Assessment?

You may require a structural engineer assessment in cases such as:

Before buying a property – to reveal hidden defects.
After a disaster – like a flood, fire, or seismic activity.
During major alterations – ensuring changes won’t weaken the structure.
For insurance or mortgage approval – to prove stability and reduce risk.

For compliance – meeting BS 6180:2011 and other regulatory standards.

Structural Assessments and Material Testing

Our service integrates material testing and construction materials testing to verify the quality and durability of every building element. Working with materials and testing laboratories and material testing laboratories, we conduct:

Laboratory material testing – strength, flexibility, and resistance checks.
Concrete testing UK – assessing compressive strength and curing quality.
Composite structural insulated panels evaluation – for structural insulated panel construction projects.
CWCT testing – weather performance and façade safety checks.
Material testing lab reports – detailed insights into performance under stress.

What Are Structural Insulated Panels and Why Test Them?

Many modern projects use structurally insulated panels due to their strength, energy efficiency, and lightweight properties. But what are structural insulated panels exactly? They are high-performance building components made from an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, often oriented strand boards (OSB).

Testing and evaluating structural SIP panels ensures they meet safety and performance requirements, especially for load-bearing walls, roofing, and structural insulated panel construction in the UK climate.

BS 6180 and Glass Balustrade Loadings

For projects involving balconies, staircases, or terraces, BS 6180 and BS6180 compliance is essential. This standard outlines the glass balustrade loadings required for safety. Our structural evaluations ensure your design meets these specifications without compromising aesthetics.

Structural Integrity and Safety Assessments

We carry out structural integrity assessments to ensure that every element of your building can safely perform its intended function. Our structural testing and structural evaluations cover:

Load-bearing calculations.
Safety factor verification.
Identifying potential points of failure before they become critical.
