Structural Engineer

A chartered professional engineer who designs and analyses structures to ensure they can safely withstand loads. For home extensions, a structural engineer typically specifies beam sizes, pad foundations, and connection details, and may visit site to check that work has been carried out correctly. Their calculations form part of the building regulations submission.
