Attic Conversion
Seaforth Drive, Edinburgh
Reilly Structures provided full structural engineering services for an attic conversion in a traditional Edinburgh property, delivering structural detailing, building warrant documentation, and support for contractor coordination.
This project involved the transformation of unused attic space into a new habitable floor level, complete with timber-framed internal walls, vaulted ceilings, and a fully compliant new staircase.
Key features Included of the design:
A full structural assessment of the existing timber roof and floor to confirm suitability for the proposed alterations
Integration of new steel beams and padstones to safely redistribute loads due to layout changes
Structural notes and construction details tailored to meet the requirements for Building Warrant approval
This project was carefully planned to preserve the integrity of the existing structure while enhancing the available living space with a light-filled, functional attic.
