How much does structural engineering typically cost?

For typical residential timber frame projects, fees often start at around £350 + VAT, depending on project size, complexity and scope. Repeat or similar plots are usually charged at a reduced rate. A fixed fee is agreed before work starts.

Do you work directly with homeowners, or only with architects and contractors?

We work with homeowners, architects, developers, timber frame suppliers and contractors, depending on the project and stage.

What information do you need to provide a fee or design proposal?

Typically, we will let you know if we need anything else, such as architectural drawings, site location, proposed construction type and an outline of the required scope. We will let you know if we need anything else.

Are your calculations suitable for Building Control approval?

Yes. Calculations and details are prepared in accordance with UK Building Regulations and relevant Eurocodes, suitable for Building Control submission.

Can you review or adapt an existing structural design?

Yes, subject to review of the available information and scope. Any revisions or redesigns are assessed on a project-specific basis.

Do you provide site support during construction?

We can provide technical support during construction, where agreed as part of the appointment.

Can you design or check a single steel beam or frame?

Yes, we can design or verify individual structural elements such as steel beams or portal frames, subject to review of the broader structural context and available information. Fees depend on complexity and scope and are agreed in advance.
