Structural calculationPrice on requestWhat is assessed?
When multiple interventions are combined, they can affect the same structural parts. A facade breakthrough and extension, for example, come together at the existing rear facade and substructure.
A joint inventory helps to recognize overlap and missing parts in the assignment. Not each part can be assessed in isolation from the other.
What data is needed?
The following information can be used to prepare the assessment. The structural engineer determines whether additional research is necessary.
- Overview of all proposed interventions
- Coordinated design drawings
- Existing data per building section
- Planning and parties involved
What do you receive?
Record the exact delivery in the quotation. Depending on your project and assignment, this involves:
- Coherent constructive assessment
- Calculations of agreed parts
- Coordinated overview drawings
Discuss who will take care of the architectural development, supplier details and any temporary support. In this way, the components involved are coordinated.
Materials and drawings
The choice of materials and connections follow from the design. Read more about Steel and the difference between a architectural drawing and a construction drawing.
How does the process proceed?
You describe your project and share the available data. The assignment, any additional information and planning are then coordinated. Check it out complete step-by-step plan for all phases.
What does your assignment cover?
Combine related alterations in one drawing and project description. A wall opening, extension and roof change may affect the same load paths. Define the scope of each part and agree how later design changes will be incorporated into the whole.
Can I already order material?
Order structural parts based on the coordinated and current design data. A preliminary estimate is not a complete basis for this.
Is a site visit necessary?
That depends on the project and the available information. Sometimes drawings and photos are sufficient for the inventory; sometimes an admission or additional examination is necessary.
What happens if my plan changes?
Report changes before they are implemented. The structural engineer assesses whether calculations and drawings need to be adjusted.
From data to a detailed plan
Checklist for your application
| Given | What you prepare |
|---|---|
| Overview of all proposed interventions | Gather the most recent available data and identify what is missing. |
| Coordinated design drawings | Gather the most recent available data and identify what is missing. |
| Existing data per building section | Gather the most recent available data and identify what is missing. |
| Planning and parties involved | Gather the most recent available data and identify what is missing. |
- Describe your complete construction plan.
Coordinate an extension, breakthrough and other changes as one coherent construction plan.
- Discuss missing data.
The structural engineer determines which recording or additional information is required for the agreed assessment.
- Record order and delivery.
Agree on the calculated parts, drawings, price and planning.
- Match the effect to the implementation.
Use the current documents and have relevant changes reviewed before they are implemented.
Frequently asked questions about multiple interventions in one project
Is one assignment useful for multiple constructive interventions?
A coherent assignment helps to assess shared carrying routes and connections. Make an overview of all interventions and record which parts are being developed. The exact division of tasks remains important when different suppliers provide their own calculations.
How do I keep track of changes from different parties?
Work with one document list and appoint a contact person for coordination. Record which drawings, parts and suppliers are affected for each change. Share decisions in a timely manner with everyone who produces or implements based on that data.

Your project location
Provide the building address and share available drawings and photographs. Discuss whether a site survey is needed and which travel or investigation costs form part of the commission.
