FAQs

Who can do structural design?

Structural engineers are experienced in carrying out design calculations and analysing proposals from architects. Their goal is to ensure that, when the designs are carried out, the structural integrity of the building is adequate to ensure the safety of the building.

What is included in structural drawings?

Structural drawings show the size, type, depth, and location of the load-carrying features in a building. They also include details which will be relevant when the designs are implemented, such as connection demands and materials. Architectural details will be omitted.

How much does a structural engineer cost in the UK?

The cost of hiring a structural engineer in the UK will vary depending on the services provided, as well as their degree of expertise. For instance, getting a structural engineer for a large project with multiple extensions and internal alterations will likely cost more than a structural engineer survey for a small one bed property. Although there can be many factors that influence cost.

Should I get a structural engineer or an architect?

For bespoke and challenging projects like new builds, both structural engineering and architectural services are recommended. The former specialises in factors that could affect the structure of your building. The latter would be more experienced in general aspects of the property, such as new build planning applications.

What should I ask a structural engineer?

It’s best to discuss the whole timeline of your project with the structural engineer before choosing them. This helps ensure your structural engineer can comfortably meet the key deadlines of the project and fulfil unique demands.
