About FM Structural
Practical structural engineering to get your project ready for Building Control submission.
01
What We Do
FM Structural provides structural engineering services for residential and small commercial projects across Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, and the East Midlands.
We produce calculation packs and drawings that are designed for one purpose: to get your project through Building Control without delays. We focus on clear documentation, practical solutions, and responsive communication.
02
Our Approach
We believe structural engineering should be straightforward. You send us your plans, we provide a clear quote, and when you're ready to proceed, we deliver a complete pack that's ready for submission.
Every calculation pack includes:
- 01Structural calculations in a clear, logical format
- 02Construction drawings suitable for site use
- 03Stated assumptions and limitations
- 04Issue sheet and revision history
- 05Summary suitable for Building Control correspondence
03
Competence and Experience
We approach every project with the same rigour: understanding the loads, verifying the structural behaviour, and documenting everything clearly. Our experience spans:
- 01Steel beam design for wall removals and openings
- 02Loft conversions and dormer structures
- 03Extensions and new foundations
- 04Timber floor and roof design
- 05Retaining walls and basement structures
- 06Party wall surveys and awards
Since October 2023, the competence regime in England has emphasised that those undertaking design work must have appropriate skills, knowledge, experience, and behaviours. We take this seriously - every project gets proper attention, and we only take on work we're equipped to deliver well.

Working With Building Control
We regularly submit to local authority Building Control departments and Approved Inspectors across our coverage area. We know what level of detail is expected and prepare our documentation accordingly.
Our goal is simple: your submission should go through without queries about structural matters.
