Loft Renovation - Additional Storey
📅
Tuesday, May 21, 2024Project and calculations walkthrough for a loft conversion project to Australian Standards.
About this event
Loft conversions are a popular choice in residential construction because they offer homeowners a cost-effective way to add space without the need for building an extension. Families can significantly increase their living area by transforming an unused attic into a functional room, such as an extra bedroom, office, or entertainment area.
When planning a loft conversion, the role of a structural engineer is crucial to assess the existing structure to determine if it can support the additional weight of the conversion. Key criteria they consider include the strength of the current joists, the integrity of the roof structure, and the foundation's ability to bear extra load.
Join Kyle Conway on Tuesday, May 21st, 2024, from 12 pm to 1 pm AEST to learn more about the structural design process of adding a room to a loft apartment using ClearCalcs.
This webinar will detail how Aus Engineered, an Australian engineering consultancy, utilised ClearCalcs for a recent loft conversion project near the Melbourne CBD.
The scope of the loft conversion project was to creatively add a living space to an apartment with very high ceilings but a small footprint. The webinar will detail how ClearCalcs was used to quickly find the most efficient beam & column sizes to reduce construction costs and increase usable living space.
All registered attendees will receive a recording of the webinar after the event.
In this webinar, we will cover:
- General overview of client requirements for loft conversion projects
- The design process using ClearCalcs
- Preparing and delivering the output of the design to the client
