At J Floyd Engineering, we provide clear, practical, and fully compliant structural design services for residential construction projects across Ireland. Whether you are building a new home, extending an existing property, or undertaking a major renovation, we work closely with homeowners, architects, and builders to deliver safe, efficient, and buildable designs.

​

Our Residential Design Services

We offer a comprehensive range of structural engineering services for residential developments of all sizes, including:​

• Design of house extensions and alterations

• Foundation and ground floor design

• Steel and reinforced concrete design

• Timber design (roof structures, floors, and loadbearing elements)

• Structural input for planning and construction stages

All designs are carried out in accordance with current Eurocodes, Irish Building Regulations, and industry best practice.​

​

Extensions & Renovations

Residential extensions and refurbishments often involve working with existing structures, which can present unique challenges. We carry out site inspections and assessments to determine the most appropriate structural solutions, including:

• Knock-throughs and removal of loadbearing walls

• Design of steel beams and lintels

• Structural alterations to existing houses

• Foundation checks for new extensions

Our approach prioritises safety, minimises disruption, and ensures compatibility with the existing structure.

Foundations & Ground Conditions

Every site is different. We assess ground conditions and proposed loads to design suitable foundations for your project, including:

• Strip foundations

• Trench fill foundations

• Raft foundations

• Piled foundations (where required)

Where necessary, we review site investigation reports and liaise with geotechnical specialists to ensure appropriate foundation solutions.
