What does a structural engineer do in building design?

They calculate and design the structural elements of a building to ensure it’s strong, stable, and compliant with building regulations.

When do I need a structural design?

You’ll need structural calculations for any project that changes load-bearing elements — such as removing walls, adding an extension, converting a loft, or building a new property.

Can an architect do structural design?

Architects design layouts and aesthetics, but structural engineers handle the technical calculations that make those designs safe and compliant.

Do I need structural calculations for Building Control approval?

Yes. Building Control will require signed-off structural calculations for any work that affects a building’s stability or structure.

How long does it take to get structural design drawings?

Simple projects can be completed within a few days. More complex designs, such as multi-storey or bespoke builds, can take one to two weeks.

What qualifications should a structural engineer have?

Look for membership with the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) or Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) to ensure professional standards and competence.

Whether you’re planning a new build or altering an existing property, they’ll help ensure your design meets Building Control requirements.

Working with a structural design specialist early in your project can also help reduce material waste and prevent costly construction issues later on.
