The engineer's calculations and a simple drawing are prepared for your opening and shared with you before anything is ordered.
Building control

Building rules in Kingswinford
Structural openings in English homes need building regulations approval before work starts. Dudley Council can deal with it, or you can use a registered building control approver. Either way the steel is inspected before it is covered, and a completion certificate is issued at the end. Keep it safe for when you sell.
Terraced and semi-detached homes often need party wall notices, because cutting into a shared wall to take a beam end is notifiable under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Allow at least two months for the notice period unless your neighbour agrees sooner.
