What does a structural engineer do?

A structural engineer has a key part to play in your build — whether it's a self build, extension, conversion of renovation, they're what make sure your home stands up in the first place, and remains that way. 

A typical day for a structural engineer is multifaceted, involving a combination of office-based work, on-site activities, and collaboration with various professionals. In the office, their day might commence with a thorough review of project plans, design drawings, and calculations. Communication is paramount, leading to participation in meetings with architects, contractors, and team members to ensure alignment on project goals and specifications.
A significant portion of a structural engineer's day is dedicated to utilizing specialized software for intricate calculations and simulations. This involves assessing the structural integrity of designs, considering factors like load distribution, material specifications, and compliance with safety standards.​

Fieldwork is integral, with site visits being a regular occurrence. Engineers inspect construction sites to monitor project progress, verify adherence to approved plans, and address any unforeseen challenges that may arise during construction. This hands-on involvement allows them to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.

Continuous professional development is also a part of their routine, as staying abreast of industry advancements, emerging technologies, and evolving building codes is crucial. In summary, a structural engineer's daily activities encompass a dynamic blend of analytical tasks, collaboration, and practical problem-solving.

Do I need a structural engineer for my home project?

​​If you need to alter the structure of a building in any shape or form, then you will need the expertise of a structural engineer. Doing so yourself, without proper structural calculations, could be dangerous. This is particularly true if you are removing load-bearing walls or knocking down chimney breasts. Accurate beam calculations need to be made, so that building work can be carried out safely. The same applies to other structural components such as floors, roofs or foundations. The role of a structural engineer is to confirm that the structure and foundation of a building is strong enough. Whenever a new building is being planned, you’ll need to hire structural engineering services.
