Do I Need a Structural Engineer in Rochester?
You may need a structural engineer if your project involves changes to the structure of a building. Common examples include removing a load-bearing wall, installing a steel beam, constructing an extension, altering a roof, converting a loft or investigating structural cracks.
The exact requirements depend on the proposed works and the existing building. If you are unsure whether your project requires structural engineering input, contact our team and we can discuss your proposed works.
The cost depends on the type and complexity of the project, whether a site inspection is required, and the structural calculations or drawings needed. Contact us with details of your project for a quotation.
If the wall is load-bearing or forms part of the building’s structural system, structural calculations may be required for the proposed alteration. A structural engineer can assess the existing arrangement and design an appropriate solution.
Yes. A structural engineer can assess the loads and design an appropriate steel beam and supporting structure for the proposed opening.
If you offer this service, say exactly what type of inspections/surveys you provide and what they cover.
The timeframe depends on the project, available information, whether a site visit is required and the complexity of the calculations and drawings. Give customers a realistic timeframe rather than a generic promise.
Yes, if this is genuinely a service you provide. Explain how you collaborate with architects, contractors, homeowners and other professionals.
