How does hiring a structural engineer work?
Structural engineers work alongside architects to ensure the proposed design is structurally sound and achievable. There is nothing worse than loving your architect’s vision only to find out you might have to compromise because of structural concerns.
We will complete a site inspection to check the accuracy of any existing plans you have and identify any potential issues. We will produce initial design ideas for feedback/questions from you and your architects. We will also complete detailed structural drawings and calculations for your architect and contractors.
