Frequently asked questions
We now have an FAQ list that we hope will help
you answer some of the more common ones.
How much do structural engineers charge?
A structural engineer’s hourly cost starts at around 75 AUD per hour but can exceed up to 250 AUD an hour for complex projects. But obviously, these costs can be higher or lower depending on the area and structural engineer’s experience level.
Do I need a structural engineer or a builder?
If you have to complete a construction project or some structural changes, you’ll require a structural engineer as well as a builder. A structural engineer will design and assess the structural elements, and your builder will construct your building based on the design.
What is the difference between a building engineer and a structural engineer?
A building engineer usually supervises various aspects of a building project including structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. On the other hand, a structural engineer designs and analyses the structural components of a building and ensures that the building is safe, stable, and compliant with the relevant local council codes.
Can a structural engineer design a building?
Yes, a structural engineer can design the structural components of a building like the foundation, beams, columns, and load-bearing walls, and make sure that the building is sound and secure structurally. However, they usually collaborate with other professionals and architects to integrate their structural design into the overall building design.
