Energy Assessments & Site Testing

Energy Assessments and Site Testing are essential for optimising energy efficiency and compliance with environmental standards. We offer comprehensive assessments to evaluate energy consumption, identify improvements, and enhance sustainability. Our site testing services ensure that your project meets environmental and regulatory requirements, minimising its impact on the environment.

Expert Structural Beam Design

We offer precise structural calculations for various types of beams, including steel, timber, and glulam beams. Whether you need to create openings between rooms or plan a domestic extension, we have the expertise to make it happen. Open-plan layouts are a popular trend, and our cost-effective service includes a site visit and transparent pricing per beam.

Our team of experienced Structural Engineers provides accurate and reliable calculations for both residential and commercial structural projects. Residential projects include:

  • Internal Remodelling
  • New Builds
  • Self-Builds

Building Regulations Compliance Made Easy

Our sister company, Cook & Edwards Ltd, specialises in providing consultant services to corporate-approved inspectors, acting as Chartered delegated inspectors for plan checks and site inspections to secure Building Regulations approvals.

Western Building Consultants can assist you in navigating the building control approval process, offering technical specifications and plans. We excel at transforming planning drawings, often from planning consultants, into technically feasible solutions, including sustainability enhancements and technologies.

We’ve incorporated specialist building methods like ICF, straw bale, and SIPS panels in various new build projects. If your project lacks Building Regulations approval, we can provide advice and necessary evidence, including structural calculations and U-value assessments, to demonstrate our compliance.

Our experienced professionals can help you address the approval process, whether it arises during a property sale or due to neighbour complaints, drawing on their extensive knowledge of both private and public sector building control requirements.

We Are Your Trusted Building Consultants in Cardiff & Newport

Whether you’re planning a project, dealing with drainage, or navigating complex regulations, Western Building Consultants is here to make your journey smooth and successful.
