Structural Packages

A structural assessment is a professional evaluation of a building’s load-bearing system to determine its safety, adequacy, and suitability for planned changes (renovation, addition, damage review, or permit support). It is typically performed by a structural engineer or qualified structural specialist and results in written findings and, when required, a signed/stamped letter or report

Wayne Howden Structural Limited provides structural assessments by performing focused, field-based evaluations of existing buildings to determine how loads are carried through foundations, walls, beams, and framing systems, and whether those elements are adequate for current conditions or proposed changes. The company applies practical construction knowledge alongside engineering-based review methods to identify load-bearing components, trace load paths, flag structural deficiencies, and define upgrade requirements. Each assessment is documented with clear written findings and, where required, a signed structural letter or report suitable for renovation planning, additions, and permit submissions.
