A consultant structural engineer has inspected the existing external stone walls forming the servants’ quarters after the fire. The engineer’s report concludes that the existing walls can no longer be regarded as load bearing and the lateral support formally provided by the roof joists means the walls are no longer stable.

The Planning Consent for the project requires the existing walls to be retained and the roof profile to be reinstated with a slate finish.

Prepare an illustrated report that details how the existing roof profile can be reinstated/constructed without relying on the existing external stone walls for support.

Prepare a narrative method statement for the formation of the lift shaft and pit for the proposed hydraulic lift installation.
