Having a steel structure made requires more than just an idea or construction plan. It requires a solid construction calculation that guarantees the safety, stability and efficiency of your project. Constructiefgoed is your partner in construction calculations and guides you through every step, so that you avoid unnecessary costs, delays and risks. Read on to discover why good preparation is important and how we make a difference.
Why is a construction calculation important?
A steel construction offers many advantages, such as strength, durability and flexibility. This makes it an excellent choice when replacing a load-bearing wall with a steel beam or when adding a steel structure to better distribute load-bearing forces in a home. But without an accurate construction calculation, these benefits can turn into costly problems. A construction calculation guarantees that the steel beams and girders have exactly the right dimensions and can safely carry the load. This prevents instability, subsidence and other safety risks.
In addition, a construction calculation is in many cases mandatory when applying for a building permit. This makes it an indispensable step in any home project that uses steel for stability and support.
What is involved in having a steel structure made?
Having a steel structure made is not just about installing steel beams. The process involves a number of important steps:
- Collecting information: To make an accurate calculation, construction drawings, load requirements and information about the foundation are required. This information forms the basis of a safe construction.
- Perform calculations: Experts use specialist software to calculate the load-bearing capacity of the structure. This determines whether the chosen materials and designs comply with building regulations.
- Check regulations: Your construction must not only be technically correct, but also meet the legal requirements. A construction calculation helps with obtaining permits and prevents delays in the process.
Constructiefgoed ensures that this process runs smoothly, so that you can focus on the realization of your project.
The risks of an incorrectly calculated steel construction
An error in the calculation of your steel structure can have serious consequences. For example:
- Instability: An incorrectly placed or calculated steel beam can lead to subsidence, cracks in walls or even collapse.
- Damage to the building: Overloading can cause damage not only to the structure itself, but also to adjacent walls or ceilings.
- Safety risks: The risk of accidents increases if the construction is not strong enough. This can have consequences for both the residents and the environment.
With the help of Constructiefgoed you can prevent these risks and ensure a safe and reliable construction.
Have permits and regulations drawn up for a steel construction
Removing a wall or realizing an extension often requires a permit. A good construction calculation is indispensable. Municipalities often require a calculation as proof that your plans meet the applicable building regulations and safety standards.
