Building Dreams, Ensuring Safety
At Salstan, our structural engineering services are designed to give your project a strong foundation and total peace of mind. Whether you’re starting from scratch or making structural changes, our expert structural engineering team ensures every element complies with current regulations and safety standards.
We support new builds, extensions, renovations and structural repairs with professional expertise and dedicated guidance throughout your project.
What is Structural Engineering?
Structural engineering is the design of all key load-bearing elements that keep your
home standing strong. It involves precise calculations and drawings for components
like beams, columns, and foundations. As a result, the entire structure remains
stable, safe, & fully compliant with building regulations.
Why Does It matter?
- Built for Safety – Ensures your structure is stable, secure, and meets all building regulations.
- Mandatory – Any extension or structural change to your home requires engineering calculations to ensure the building remains safe and stable. Without proper structural design, you risk serious safety issues and failed inspections.
- Required for Approval – Structural calculations are a key part of most planning and building regulation submissions.
- Peace of Mind for the Future – A well-engineered structure means fewer problems down the line. No cracks, no surprises.

Fleur Ward2024-11-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently sought advice and assistance regarding foundation calculations, and the support I received was exceptional. The expert guidance provided not only clarified the complexities of the calculations but also helped me understand the underlying principles behind them. The attention to detail and ability to break down technical concepts made the entire process much easier to grasp. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to eliminate the need for an expensive tree survey (requested by another structural Engineer.) I now feel confident in moving forward with my project, knowing that the foundation calculations are accurate and reliable, without delay. I highly recommend Ibbad and Elyas and their services to anyone in need of solid, informed advice on structural design. I wish I'd met them sooner and will be reverting to them with my next project.

APD2024-10-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you have read the reviews (like we did few months back) and thinking but really are all these reviews too good to be true. Well, we can share our experience with MM Planning & Architecture which may put your mind at ease and you can perhaps consider them for your project. Thanks to my wife, who after some research found MM Planning & Architecture, so we called to have a chat and spoke to Ibbad, who is the Divisional Director and is also highly qualified with Masters in Engineering. We had a list of initial queries (as you do) and we felt comfortable talking to Ibbad who took time to address our queries. We didnāt hesitate at all, and asked MM Planning to help us with our extension planning application. Ibbad produced the first draft of drawing, and one of the things we instantly noticed that his drawings also include 3D drawings at not extra charge. We had seen so many drawings on the councilās website but never seen a 3D drawing. After a few iterations, Ibbad kindly submitted the application. He managed communications with the council and us & informed us immediately as soon as there was any update from the council. We truly appreciate Ibbadās attitude and nature towards keeping his clients updated. We are thrilled to say our planning application was recently approved & MM Planning will support us with structural drawings. We are also considering MM Planning for building the project and interior designing & furnishing. To summarise, in our experience Ibbad is a true professional, very friendly, takes pride in his work, addresses client requirements, highly experienced and knowledgeable, researches prior applications with the council before submitting your application to ensure best chances of success. Lastly, MM Planningās services are very reasonable too. Thank you tons Ibbad for all you have done to support us. We are ever grateful to you sir.
