Items 4.6 & Items 4.7, These two items within the report highlight what is required structurally to support the roof when the internal walls are removed to create the new internal layout - refer to the plan after Item 4.7

Both walls aid the stability of the building and they span a quite significant span therefore, it is very likely both will require to be moment frames to maintain the stability of the building

This item basically concludes that if items 4.6 & 4.7 noted above are done to structural engineers' requirements then the roof is more than capable of having solar panels.

Please include a sum of £1,500 for the structural engineer to provide the calculations for the steel support beams.
