Value Engineering

Every successful building project starts with a good plan.

Looking to transform your ideas into reality? At Total Design Structural we provide everything you need before construction begins — under one roof.

Every successful building project starts with a good plan. Whether you're extending your home, converting a loft or creating a new living space, our role is to make the design and approval process straightforward, efficient and stress-free.

At Total Design Structural, we bring together Planning Applications, Building Regulations and Structural Engineering under one roof, providing a complete pre-construction design service.

Rather than coordinating several consultants, you'll work with one experienced team from concept through to a complete build-ready drawing package.

Our philosophy is simple: ELEGANT DESIGNS, VALUE ENGINEERING.

We believe the best designs are those that look great, are practical to build and represent excellent value for money. Using the principles of Value Engineering, we look for the most effective structural and design solutions—often reducing unnecessary construction costs while maintaining quality and long-term performance.

For most residential extensions, the essential ingredients are straightforward: good design, the necessary approvals, clear construction drawings and a reliable builder. By concentrating exclusively on the design stage, we provide everything required before construction begins, allowing you to move forward with confidence.

Alan Brett 5 star review

Contractor association.

Steve has supplied the structural drawings on numerous projects I have completed. I have found Total Design Structural Ltd to be professional and very approachable.

Their attention to detail goes far beyond just structural drawings. They will go that extra mile to make sure that what has been designed is structurally safe, but also pleasing to the client, and I would have no hesitation in referring him in the future.
