Frequently Asked Questions

What is a structural survey and how much does it cost?

A structural survey assesses the condition and integrity of a building's load-bearing elements. In East Kilbride, surveys typically cost £250–£400. The report identifies structural defects and recommends remedial works. Costs vary based on property size and complexity.

Do I need Building Standards approval in East Kilbride?

Yes. Most structural work in Scotland requires Building Standards approval from the local authority. Structural engineers can guide this process. Approval costs are separate but engineers typically factor consultation time into their fees.

How long does a structural report take?

A basic structural survey typically takes 1–2 weeks from site visit to report delivery. More complex assessments and detailed design work can take 2–4 weeks depending on scope and authority approval timelines.

What's the difference between a surveyor and a structural engineer?

Surveyors conduct general property inspections; structural engineers specialise in load-bearing systems, calculations, and design. For specific structural concerns or building works, a structural engineer is required for formal reports and Building Standards compliance.
