Do you need to visit my house in Newcastle?

Not always. For many RSJ designs and extensions in Newcastle, clear architect drawings, photos and a few key dimensions are enough. If a visit is needed because of unclear information, poor access or something unusual, we explain that first and include it in the quote.

How much does a structural engineer cost in Newcastle?

Simple wall removals with one RSJ in a typical Newcastle terrace or semi usually start in the low hundreds. Two-storey extensions, lofts and more complex layouts are higher because there are more beams, checks and drawings. Send your plans and we will reply with a fixed fee before you decide.

Do you cover the wider Tyneside area?

Yes. As well as central Newcastle we often work on projects in Gateshead, North Shields, South Shields, Tynemouth and nearby towns. Many designs are done from drawings and photos. If a site visit is needed for your project we tell you why and add it to the quote.

Will Building Control accept your calculations?

We work to the Eurocodes with the UK National Annexes and lay the calculations out in a way local Building Control teams are used to seeing. If the council or a private inspector questions anything, we reply on your behalf and update the pack if needed, without adding extra design fees.
