Structural works sit at the heart of almost every refurbishment, extension or change-of-use project. KC Built delivers structural alterations and repairs across residential, commercial and housing-association buildings, from single load-bearing wall removals to multi-phase strengthening works on occupied buildings.
Every package is delivered in close collaboration with chartered structural engineers and signed off by Building Control. Temporary works, propping, sequencing and access are planned in detail before we lift a tool, protecting the building, the neighbours and the programme.
Engineer-Led Structural Alterations
Whether the brief is a clean open-plan kitchen reconfiguration or a complex multi-storey alteration, we coordinate the engineer's calculations, the Building Control submission, the temporary works and the trades that follow on after the structural phase.
Because structural works rarely sit on their own, our team is set up to dovetail with electrical, roofing, façade and refurbishment packages on the same programme, saving cost, time and the risk that comes with bringing multiple separate contractors onto the same site.

Working with Chartered Engineers
Every structural job is delivered with a named chartered structural engineer providing calculations, specifications and site inspection sign-off. Drawings are issued through Building Control, party-wall surveyors are coordinated where required, and temporary works schemes are produced before any load path is disturbed.
The result is a structural package you can hand straight to a buyer's solicitor, a lender or an insurer, with the paperwork to match the work in the ground.
In-House Structural Division
Our structural division delivers safe, certified alterations and repairs for residential, commercial and housing-association projects across London. Calculations and details come from chartered engineers; the build comes from our own carpenters, steel fixers and bricklayers, one accountable team from survey to sign-off.
