C. LEONTE
Needed help with 2 beams :
First beam was designed at 151x151 way to narrow to take a 300mm cavity wall-a disaster!
Second beam was calculated with bearing onto a window/door opening(into thin air).
Repeted emails were just ignored by Stuart and Martyn, probably that a second RSJ to brace across opening as to take the roof RSJ was too much!
Unproffessional to ignore someone just bacause you make mistakes as you cannot look at plans to see dimension of the walk or to spot that the padstone will be placed into thin air! Very sad!

Martyn and his team were a pleasure to work with. Clearly very knowledgeable and Martyn was very flexible in the times he made himself available to discuss our project, very customer focussed.
Their process enabled us to explore our options and was very quick but without pressure to move on unless WE were happy with the scheme.
Planning consent was obtained in 6 weeks, without any real planning conditions, which is testament to the quality of the output

I've just used calculate my beam in October 2023 to draw my plans for a loft conversion and the journey with them was fantastic, I was a bit nervous of only dealing with them online but even when the planning department had questions CMB dealt direct with the council to resolve the questions. I wholly recommend CMB and I'd use them again if I needed to. More...

We needed some architectural plan’s drawing up, and we we’re looking for a reputable company for our project so we heard about bark, who recommended a list of architects, and the one that stood out to us was Calculate My Beam, they had a good website with a very professional look, we saw they had a lot of good reviews, and it wasn’t long before we received a call from Stuart who was very friendly and informative it was an easy decision to chose Calculate My Beam, with the professional approach we received, he showed us a concept board of examples of what our plans could look like which was great, he then arranged an appointment to visit our property, to gather measurements and full planning ideas from us, he was very efficient and knowledgeable and gave us lots of info and advice, within a few day’s the first concept drawing’s were available for us to have a look over and go through it with Martyn who also was very informative and knowledgeable, and helped to get the plan’s as we wanted, it all felt like a very smooth process and we are very happy with our final drawing’s and would recommend them to anybody looking to get drawing’s for a project, big thank’s to the whole Calculate My Beam team.

Stuart and team did a fantastic job. They were very personable & professional and provided us with both building reg and structural documents within their speedy timeframe. Their vast experience really came through when meeting them and during calls and they answered all of the questions we had. Prices were competitive and there were no hidden costs. Would highly recommend. More...

We were very impressed with Stuart and Martin’s response throughout our project. From the initial inquiries to the closing off of the project, their actions were consistent and professional throughout.
Like everyone else I am sure, I was initially sceptical about doing all work online, but their support throughout the process was punctual and effective.
Highly recommended.

After designing foundations and being questioned on them by building control simply refused to answer any e mail and telephone calls. Ask yourself where they are from as you'll not find their business address on the website and the e mails in hindsight come from another building company . More...

Mr Orme, we are deeply saddened to receive your review some seven months after we completed your project. Customer service and satisfaction is our upmost priority. This is demonstrated with our many satisfied customer reviews below. As we recall you were a very satisfied customer, indeed very impressed and rated us 5 Stars, but informed us that you don't do reviews when we requested a review on completion of your project back in March 2023. We spent considerable time negotiating and engaging with your chosen building control provider at your request, escalating to the director and agreeing the way forward. It surprises me that we have not had to engage, for the last 6 months, with your BC provider, prior to work continuing. We felt that we provided above and beyond support during your project, being on site within 24 hrs and working quickly and amending and adding additional supporting documentation to your project outside of our normal service at no extra cost. At every stage we explained the intricacies of the foundations and the impact the Hedges and trees you have running alongside your property will have. We worked with you and your builder to design a foundation you could complete, especially as you had already dug the foundation and your builder was not confident in completing a raft foundation as advised. For clarification our address is on all of our paperwork, Quotation, Invoice and your Site report. We are an Online based business with registered office in Melton Mowbray and we cover the length and breadth of the UK with projects from Cumbria to Cornwall and from Newcastle to Norfolk. If you would like any additional support with your Building Inspector we are always here and will support you in any way we can.

Angus Brown
Structural Engineer
Overall I am VERY happy to leave a 5 star review for Martyn and the crew at calculate my beam. Very quick turn around from site visit to having all calcs and drawing down so I could get on ordering the steels for the project . As this was a self build I had to find the right person for the job that I could pick up the phone and talk things through. What really impressed me was Martyn REALLY cared for the job and was a walking encyclopedia of information having had vast experience over decades of building projects. After this project I will certainly be calling on Martyn for the next one! Thanks again!! More...
Sarah

If I could leave a higher review I would! Martyn was such a professional and friendly man to work with and the prices paid was much better than I had previously been quoted! He completed the work from start to finish within 3 days and has welcomed any further advice from my builders. Extremely happy with his service and would highly recommend! 🙌🏻 More...

Stuart and Martyn are a cohesive team and deliver a high quality job. Both are fantastic to work with and are very knowledgeable about their stuff and get about doing their work quickly and efficiently. Once plans were in initial stage and before finalisation a Zoom meeting was held to ensure that the job requirement was captured correctly. It was great to work with the team and Stuart being the main point of contact made things go smoothly. I would highly recommend their services. More...
