Structural works

Foundations, masonry, concrete, roof structure, extensions and roof raises: everything that carries the building.

Request a quote →

Structural work is the part of a site you cannot put right later. An undersized foundation or neglected waterproofing costs ten times more two years on. We work with a structural engineer on every structural intervention, and we document everything that will be covered up.

What we take on

  • Foundations, underpinning, micropiles
  • Traditional masonry and blockwork, reinforced concrete
  • Steel and timber beams, lintels, openings in load-bearing walls
  • Extensions, outbuildings, roof raises
  • Roof structure, roofing, zinc work and waterproofing
  • Façades: render, repointing, external insulation

Who it is for

Extension or roof-raise projects, older houses needing structural repair, architects looking for a contractor for the weathertight shell.

[ Frequent questions ]

Do you work with a structural engineer?

Systematically as soon as a load changes. The calculation comes with the quote, not after it.

Do you photograph what gets covered up?

Yes. Every hidden stage — foundations, reinforcement, waterproofing, conduits — is photographed and included in the handover file.

Does an extension always need a permit?

In Brussels most extensions do. Some minor works are exempt; the cases are listed by urban.brussels and must be checked project by project.

Do you work in apartment buildings?

Yes, including in co-ownership. We then adapt hours and access, and provide the managing agent with the schedule and insurance certificates.

What warranty covers structural work?

Ten-year liability, compulsory in Belgium for works affecting stability and the weathertight shell. Our certificate is attached to every quote.
