What do structural engineers do? When do I need one?

Structural Engineers are an essential profession to work with when constructing a new building or structure or altering an existing one. They deal with the design and calculations of structures that carry or support loads. Structural Engineers must analyise and create calculations for support beams, columns and other support devices for both buildings and non-buildings structures, to ensure that they are safe and structurally sound.

Engaging a structural engineer at the project's inception is a strategic move that profoundly influences the trajectory and success of construction or renovation endeavors. Ideally, their involvement should coincide with or precede the architectural planning phase. By doing so, the structural engineer becomes an integral part of the collaborative effort, integrating structural considerations with the aesthetic and functional aspects of the design.

This early collaboration allows for a comprehensive assessment of the project's feasibility. Structural engineers bring their expertise to the table, offering valuable insights into the load-bearing requirements, potential challenges, and innovative solutions that can optimise the design. Identifying and addressing structural issues from the outset mitigates the risk of unforeseen complications arising during later stages, saving both time and resources.

For new constructions, this early engagement ensures that the architect's vision aligns seamlessly with the structural necessities, fostering a harmonious synthesis of form and function. In the realm of renovations, particularly those involving structural modifications, such as removing walls or altering the building's configuration, an early structural engineer's involvement is pivotal. Their input aids homeowners in making informed decisions about the viability and scope of their renovation plans, setting the stage for a successful and structurally sound transformation. Ultimately, the proactive approach of involving a structural engineer from the project's inception lays a solid foundation for a smooth, efficient, and secure construction or renovation journey.

When would I need a structural engineer?

You would normally hire a structural engineer (as well as an architect) at building control design stage, which is the period well ahead of construction. In the case of new builds or basement conversions, a structural engineer might be required to carry out a feasibility study before submitting a planning application. An architect can also advise their client when a structural engineer is required.
