Structural Alterations
Precision cut-and-carve operations and structural modifications for complex building projects
Expert Structural Alteration Services
Structural alterations involve specialist techniques to modify existing buildings — whether removing load-bearing walls, creating open-plan spaces, reinforcing structures, or enabling redevelopment. Also known as “cut and carve” projects, these operations require precision, engineering expertise, and careful planning.
DSM brings decades of experience to structural alteration projects across commercial, industrial, and residential sectors. Our team works closely with structural engineers and clients to deliver safe, compliant modifications that transform spaces while maintaining structural integrity.
