What Does a Structural Engineer Do?
A structural engineer focuses on the stability, strength, and safety of buildings and structures. Whether you’re removing a wall, adding a new storey, or designing a completely new home, a structural engineer ensures the structure can withstand all intended loads—such as people, furniture, wind, and snow.
Their role often includes:
• Structural calculations for planning or building control
• Steel beam design and load assessments
• Foundation and retaining wall design
• Roof structure analysis
• Support during alterations or extensions
At DAMAX Design Solutions, we ensure that every structural solution is well thought out, cost-effective, and tailored to your specific build.
When Do You Need a Structural Engineer?
There are many situations where hiring a structural engineer in the UK becomes essential. Common scenarios include:
• Removing load-bearing walls
• Loft conversions or roof alterations
• New build properties
• House extensions
• Subsidence or structural movement
• Retaining walls or basement works
Even if your project seems straightforward, building control will often require formal calculations or drawings from a qualified structural engineer. That’s where we come in.
Structural Engineers and Building Regulations
In the UK, building regulations require all structural work to be safe and compliant. To get approval from your local authority, you’ll usually need to submit structural drawings and calculations as part of your building regulation application.
DAMAX Design Solutions provides structural drawings that are fully compliant and ready for submission to building control. This reduces delays, avoids rejected applications, and gives you peace of mind.

Planning in Conservation Areas and for Listed Buildings
Dorset is home to many conservation areas and listed properties. Special permissions are needed for any external changes in these areas, and stricter rules apply.
We have extensive experience in navigating these sensitive planning cases. Whether you’re restoring a historic home or building in a protected zone, we’ll ensure your plans meet all the relevant requirements.
Do You Also Need Building Regulations Approval?
Yes — and we can help with that too. Planning permission gives you approval to build, but building regulations ensure your project is structurally sound and safe.
We provide detailed building regulation drawings as part of our service, covering everything from structural details and fire safety to insulation and drainage. These drawings are required by either Dorset Council Building Control or a private inspector.

• Complete planning support — from initial ideas to approved applications

• Personal service with clear communication throughout
• Support with appeals or revised submissions if needed
