MIM Projects

Initial Assessment – A structural engineer or designer inspects the garage to check suitability and discuss your goals.

Design & Planning – Scaled drawings are produced, and planning permission or a lawful development certificate is obtained if needed.

Building Regulations & Structural Design – Structural calculations and detailed technical drawings are prepared to meet Building Control requirements.

Construction – Work begins on insulation, new walls, flooring, windows/doors, and any internal changes like heating, electrics, or plumbing.

Inspections & Sign-off – Building Control carries out site inspections during the build and issues a completion certificate once everything complies.

Each stage ensures your conversion is safe, legal, and fit for purpose.

The main thing to check is whether there is enough head height available in the loft. Ideally, you want 2.4m from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge board. This will allow enough height to install RSJs which are required for the floor supports and also allow enough height to increase the size of the rafters if required.

Feasibility & Survey – A structural engineer or designer assesses your loft for suitability, checking head height, roof structure, and access potential.

Design & Planning – Detailed drawings are created. Depending on the design, you may need planning permission or a certificate of lawful development.

Structural Calculations & Building Regs – Structural designs and calculations are prepared for steel beams, floor reinforcement, and roof alterations, and submitted to Building Control.

Construction Phase – This includes installing steelwork, floor joists, dormers or roof windows, insulation, stairs, and internal finishes like plastering, electrics, and plumbing.

Final Inspection & Certification – Building Control conducts final checks and issues a completion certificate once everything meets regulations.

What I love most about my job is helping people reimagine their homes through thoughtful architectural design and practical solutions. It’s rewarding to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also improve everyday living.

I was inspired to start my own business to offer a more personal, flexible approach to home design—combining both architectural vision and structural expertise. I wanted to guide clients through the entire process, from concept to completion, with clear communication and tailored solutions.

Clients should choose me because I offer a complete, reliable service—combining architectural design with structural engineering to deliver safe, stylish, and fully compliant home improvements. I take the time to understand each client’s goals and guide them clearly through every stage of the process.

The majority of our services are not provided Online or Remotely. We need to visit the property to carry out a survey to start the drawing process.
There are times when structural calculations can be proivded without attending site, but there should be accurate architectural drawings in place for this to happen.
