You are doing some home improvements and you need a beam fitted to create an opening between two rooms but you need to know the size of the beam. You have some drawings from an Architect but you need the structural information required to build your project. You have a builder who is ready to start and you need the information quickly.

Contact hemis to discuss your requirements. hemis specialises in working from any information provided and if more information is required, will assist you in obtaining that information. For a beam, hemis needs to know what the beam hold up and the information required is a simple sketch of the floor plans and the ceiling height. Photographs and Videos help immensely.

Architect's drawings are normally pdf or dwg (AutoCAD). hemis has the software to work with either format and will prepare drawings that overlay the originals for easy identification of the structural work. The structural-calculations are then based on this information.

The advantages of the online service is the speed of turnaround and savings in cost. To visit a site, measure and prepare the survey drawings takes time; sometimes several days. This adds to the cost. A single beam sized online would cost £200 whereas a site visit and survey would add £300 - £400 to the fee.
