Most garden rooms can be constructed using standard details, but some projects require additional structural design to make sure the building is safe, practical and properly engineered.

​

APN Garden Rooms can arrange structural design services where your project includes features such as:

• Large bifold or sliding door openings

• Steel or timber beams

• Glulam beams

• Large roof spans

• Roof lanterns

• Large roof lights

• Raised or suspended floors

• Ground screw foundations

• Sloping sites

• Retaining walls

• Unusual foundation conditions

• Large cantilevers

• Structural alterations to an existing building

• Heavier roof constructions

• Complex wall or roof arrangements

​

Our structural design service can be added to an APN Garden Room design where standard construction details are not sufficient.

​

The aim is to provide your builder with clear structural information so that important loadbearing elements can be constructed with confidence.

​

Where required, the structural engineer can provide calculations and supporting information for Building Regulations approval as part of the wider garden room package.
