STRUCTURAL CALCULATIONS & REPORTS FOR BUILDING CONTROL & LABC APPROVAL

Structural Calculations for Safe, Buildable & Compliant Projects

Structural engineering provides the calculations and technical assurance needed to make sure a project is safe, practical and capable of meeting the relevant structural and Building Control requirements.

360 GSS provides structural engineering, calculations and technical reports for residential, commercial and architectural projects, supporting everything from structural alterations and bespoke steelwork to balconies, glass structures, roof terraces and foundation systems.

Working alongside homeowners, architects, builders, developers and contractors, we assess the loads, structure, materials and fixing conditions of each project before producing the calculations and documentation required to move the design forward with confidence.

Where 360 GSS is also manufacturing or installing the finished system, engineering can be coordinated directly with fabrication and installation, helping reduce disconnect between the design on paper and what ultimately needs to be built on site.

Structural Calculations & Reports

Project-specific structural calculations and engineering reports prepared to support design development, Building Control and project delivery.

Residential & Commercial Engineering

Support for extensions, structural alterations, balconies, glazing, steelwork, foundations and specialist residential or commercial structures.

Engineering, Fabrication & Installation

Engineering can be coordinated with our structural steel fabrication, glass and installation capabilities to provide a more joined-up route from design through to completion.

Structural Engineering Services

360 GSS works in partnership with internationally recognised structural engineering specialists GL&SS, providing access to advanced engineering expertise across structural steel, structural glass, balconies, balustrades, foundations and complex architectural structures.

Projects benefit from the involvement of Marco, Director at GL&SS, whose experience includes technically demanding glass and structural engineering projects around the world, including the Tiffany glass staircase in New York.

His specialist work in structural glass engineering, crack propagation and laminated glass behaviour has been published in scientific journals and presented at international engineering conferences, and he has also contributed expertise to the development of glass engineering standards.

This partnership combines advanced structural analysis with the practical fabrication and installation knowledge of 360 GSS, helping ensure proposed solutions are not only technically sound but also practical to manufacture and build.

I prefer this because the current section is good authority-building material, but it is slightly more biography-heavy than it needs to be.

Our Structural Engineering Process

STEP 1

Submit Your Project

Send us your architectural drawings, plans, photographs or project information so the engineering requirements can be reviewed.

STEP 2

Survey & Structural Assessment

Where required, the existing structure, dimensions, supports and site conditions are assessed to establish the engineering input and calculations needed.

STEP 3

Structural Design & Calculations

Project-specific structural calculations, design checks and supporting technical documentation are prepared around the proposed structure and required loads.

STEP 4

Reports & Building Control Documentation

Structural calculations, reports and supporting information are issued for use by your architect, contractor or Building Control team where required.

STEP 5

Ongoing Technical Support

Further engineering guidance can be provided during fabrication, installation or construction where project details need to be reviewed or developed.

Structural Engineering Capabilities

Through our engineering partnership, 360 GSS provides structural design and calculation support across a wide range of residential, commercial and architectural projects.

Our capabilities include:

Structural calculations and engineering reports
Structural steel design and calculations
Structural glass engineering
Glass balcony and balustrade calculations
Juliet balcony engineering and fixing design
Steel frame and support structure calculations
Roof terrace structural assessments
Helical piling and foundation calculations
Structural alterations and load-bearing openings
Complex architectural glazing
Building Regulation and Building Control support
Technical guidance during fabrication and construction

Where 360 GSS is also responsible for manufacture or installation, the engineering can be coordinated directly with the finished system, reducing the risk of drawings, calculations and fabricated components being developed in isolation.

Ready to get in touch?

If your project requires structural calculations, engineering reports or specialist technical support, 360 GSS can provide the expertise needed to help move your project from concept through to construction.

We provide structural engineering services for residential, commercial and architectural projects across London, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey and throughout the UK for suitable projects.

When do I need a structural engineer?

A structural engineer is commonly required where a project alters a load-bearing structure, introduces new steelwork, creates a balcony or roof terrace, modifies foundations or involves specialist structural glass.

What are structural calculations?

Structural calculations demonstrate how beams, columns, frames, glass, foundations and other structural elements respond to the loads placed upon them and help establish an appropriate design.

Can you provide structural calculations for steelwork?

Yes. We provide calculations and engineering support for beams, columns, support frames, structural openings and bespoke structural steelwork.

Do glass balconies and balustrades need structural calculations?

Many balcony and balustrade projects require structural assessment of the glass, fixings and supporting structure. 360 GSS can provide engineering alongside our bespoke glass balustrade systems.

Can you provide engineering for helical piling and foundations?

Yes. Structural calculations and design support can be provided for helical piling and specialist foundation systems, depending on the requirements of the project.

Do you provide structural glass engineering?

Yes. We provide specialist engineering support for structural glass, glass staircases, balustrades, balconies and other complex architectural glazing systems.

Can your calculations be used for Building Control?

Structural calculations and supporting technical documentation can be produced for submission to Building Control where required as part of the wider approval process.

Can you engineer and manufacture the same project?

Yes. Where appropriate, 360 GSS can coordinate engineering with fabrication and installation, including structural steel, balconies, glass systems and other specialist structures.
