How to choose a structural engineer in Nottingham

You need a structural engineer whenever load paths change: removing a wall, forming an opening, adding a loft floor, or building foundations near a neighbour. Building control will ask for their calculations.

  1. Check for chartered status with the IStructE or ICE.
  2. Ask whether site inspections and building control queries are included.
  3. Send the architect's drawings with your enquiry so the quote is for the real job.
  4. Ask how quickly calculations can be issued, as this often sets the start date.
  5. Confirm professional indemnity insurance cover.
