Residential Engineering

Navigating residential alterations requires precise engineering calculations to guarantee structural safety while realizing ambitious architectural visions. At Huq Consulting, we work directly with property owners, architects, and contractors to deliver economic, buildable structural designs for domestic developments. From opening up load-bearing internal walls to constructing complex multi-storey extension foundations, our chartered engineers produce clear calculations and detailed construction drawings optimized for smooth site delivery.

Domestic Alterations, Extensions & Loft Conversions

Modifying an existing property requires careful assessment of load paths and structural transfers. We specialize in structural design for home extensions, loft conversions, chimney breast removals, and wall removals requiring steel beam insertion. In addition, we provide tailored structural engineering solutions for historic tenemental property alterations, resolving the complex load distribution requirements typical of traditional masonry structures.

New Domestic Dwellings & Flatted Developments

For new housing developments, single bespoke new-build homes, and multi-storey flatted residential buildings, Huq Consulting provides complete substructure and superstructure engineering packages. Our service includes foundation design, superstructure load-bearing wall calculations, floor cassette detailing, and lateral stability analysis under wind loading.

Timber Roof Truss Engineering & Structural Modifications

Altering timber roof structures—whether converting a cut roof or modifying pre-engineered timber truss systems—demands careful analysis of tension and compression forces. We provide precise structural calculations and connection detailing for existing timber roof truss modifications, enabling increased headroom or open attic conversions without compromising overall roof stability.
