Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a structural survey and structural design?

A survey is an assessment of existing structure and damage (typically £600–£1,200). Design provides engineering drawings and calculations for new work or modifications (£800–£2,500+). Many projects need both. Surveys inform design scope, so doing both together can improve value.

Do I need a structural engineer for a loft conversion in Havering?

Yes. Building Control requires structural drawings for loft conversions, especially if existing joists need strengthening or new openings are required. A loft survey and design typically costs £800–£1,500 in Havering. Some insurers also require this before work starts.

Can structural engineer fees be recovered through planning or Building Control?

No. Structural engineer fees are your cost. However, early engagement can prevent costly redesigns later. Some architects include structural input; check what your contractor or architect covers before commissioning separate engineers.

Why do structural engineers in Havering cost more than other areas?

Havering is part of Greater London, where property values, travel costs and demand for skilled engineers are higher. Havering engineers typically charge 20–35% above national averages. This reflects local market rates and proven expertise.
