What is included in a structural alteration in Omagh?
We arrange the structural calculations, support the floors and roof above with temporary props while the wall comes out, install the steel on padstones, then encase it for fire protection and make good. Chimney breast removals and new openings in external walls follow the same process.
- Structural engineer’s design and calculations

Planning and building rules in Omagh
Northern Ireland projects need planning clearance and building control approval from the local council. We prepare the applications and agree any work near neighbouring property directly with the neighbours.
Internal alterations rarely need planning permission in Northern Ireland, but structural work needs building control approval.
What should Omagh homeowners check first?
- Removing walls can affect the fire escape route on open-plan ground floors in three-storey houses.
- Pipes and cables in the wall need rerouting first.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
