What it is
Structural engineering services that keep your project safe, compliant and moving
If you’re planning building work in Liverpool that affects the structure, such as knocking through a wall, extending a kitchen, converting a loft, or developing a larger scheme, you’ll almost certainly need a structural engineer. ASG Consulting provides structural engineering services across Liverpool, Merseyside and the North West, covering everything from a single beam calculation in a Victorian terrace to structural input on commercial and industrial projects.

Who needs a structural engineer?
You don’t need to be a developer to need structural engineering. Most of our enquiries come from Liverpool homeowners doing exactly the kind of work you’d expect: removing a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room, adding a rear extension, or opening up a chimney breast.
◆ Homeowners: extensions, wall removals, loft conversions and alterations
◆ Developers: structural design and review across residential and commercial schemes
◆ Architects: calculations and design input to support your drawings
◆ Contractors: beam sizing, connection details and site support
◆ Commercial clients: offices, retail, industrial and mixed-use buildings
◆ Homebuyers: structural assessment when a survey flags cracking or movement
● Domestic to industrial
What our structural engineering service includes
Structural calculations and drawings for steel beams (RSJs), lintels, load-bearing wall removals, extensions, loft conversions and new builds, prepared to satisfy building control.
Structural design input for new buildings, alterations and renovations, from concept through to construction.
Building control coordination: we liaise with Liverpool City Council and the building control teams of surrounding local authorities, as well as approved inspectors, so your paperwork doesn’t hold up your build.

Common questions about structural engineers in Liverpool
Yes. Removing or altering a load-bearing wall requires structural calculations to size the supporting beam (usually a steel RSJ) and padstones, and building control approval. Your builder will need our calculations before work starts; most Liverpool building control teams won’t sign off a knock-through without them.
A building surveyor assesses the overall condition of a property, covering damp, roofing, defects and more, while a structural engineer designs and assesses the load-bearing structure itself. If you’re buying a house, you usually start with a survey; if you’re altering a structure or a survey has flagged movement, you need an engineer. As a firm that does both, we’ll point you to the right one, not just the one you asked for.
For most structural work, including beams, wall removals, extensions, loft conversions, yes. Building control will ask for calculations demonstrating the design is safe. We prepare these as standard and can liaise with the council or approved inspector on your behalf.
Yes. If a mortgage valuation or homebuyer report has flagged cracking, movement or subsidence, we can carry out a targeted structural inspection. If the property hasn’t been surveyed at all yet, a RICS Level 3 Building Survey may be the better first step; it covers the whole building, and we can add structural engineering input where needed.
