What is a structural engineer?
The brains behind execution.
A structural engineer is a construction professional responsible for designing and calculating structures for buildings, bridges, roads and other structures. A structural engineer works closely with architects, contractors and other building professionals to ensure that structures are safe and durable.
Becoming a structural engineer often requires a degree in civil engineering, structural engineering or a related field. In addition, a structural engineer must have a thorough knowledge of building materials and methods, and be familiar with building codes and standards.
What is the role of a structural engineer?
An important link in the process.
The role of a structural engineer is critical to the construction industry. A structural engineer designs and calculates the structures of a building, bridge or road, ensuring that they are safe and durable.
A structural engineer works closely with other construction professionals to ensure that the project is completed on time and on budget. In addition, a structural engineer also checks the quality of work done by contractors and other construction professionals to ensure that the project meets required standards and specifications.
How can you become a structural engineer?
A structural engineer builds the future.
Becoming a structural engineer often requires a degree in civil engineering, structural engineering or a related field. In addition, a structural engineer must have a thorough knowledge of building materials and methods, and be familiar with building codes and standards.
Many structural engineers take additional training after graduation to further specialize. This may include training in construction design software, for example, as well as training in project management or communication skills.
Why use a structural engineer for your remodel?
A good structural engineer saves you money. Our goal as structural engineers is to make sure that you get a high quality calculation that includes the least possible material costs while the contractor can do it properly. Thanks to the investment in a good structural calculation you can be sure that the total cost of the renovation will be lower.

Frequently asked questions about making a structural calculation
What does a structural engineer do?
A structural engineer tests and calculates structures of buildings through structural analysis. Think of bridges, homes, commercial buildings and other types of structures. It is the task of the structural engineer to make a calculation that ensures that the renovation can be carried out safely and efficiently by the contractor.
When do you need a structural calculation?
When you change anything in your home to the existing load-bearing parts, you need a structural analysis. Examples of these parts include; floors, beams, roofs, foundations and walls.
A structural calculation is also required for new buildings to ensure that the construction is safe. Examples of this include; extension, dormer or extension.
This involves making sure your idea is strong enough that it doesn’t end up sagging or worse.
What is the cost of a structural calculation?
The cost of a construction calculation depends on the type of construction and its size. You can contact us for a quote request for your construction.
How long is the delivery time of a construction calculation?
The delivery time of your construction is 5 working days after approval of the given quotation. If there is more urgency you can contact us for the possibilities. We like to think along with you.
Do your structural engineers work throughout the Netherlands?
Our structural engineers work for part of the Netherlands. In most cases we make the structural calculations remotely. If a site visit is still required, we will of course arrange that as well.
What does the structural engineer need for a structural calculation?
Our structural engineers make the structural calculation based on two types of construction drawings. These are the original drawings of the building, which can be requested from the municipal archives. In addition, the structural engineers also need a drawing of the desired situation.
How does the structural engineer make the structural calculation?
So the structural engineer uses two types of building plans to make the calculation. He ensures that all possible loads have been calculated so that no cracks or deflections can occur. In doing so, the structural engineer also takes into account the necessary regulations.
How do I request the structural calculation?
You now know all about the calculation. The last question is how to request a structural calculation. This is actually very simple, you can do this with us! Request a free quote on our quote page.
What is the cost of a structural engineer?
Expert guidance from A to Z.
The cost of hiring a structural engineer depends on several factors, including the complexity of the project, the experience of the structural engineer and geographic location. In general, the cost of hiring a structural engineer is higher than other construction professionals, such as architects and contractors.
This is because the work of a structural engineer is critical to the safety and durability of a construction project. Therefore, hiring an experienced and qualified structural engineer can be a good investment for any construction project.
It is important to make clear agreements in advance about the cost and work of the structural engineer, so that you will not have any surprises during the project.
When is a structural engineer needed?
Indispensable link in construction.
A structural engineer can be involved in a wide range of projects, from small construction projects to large infrastructure projects such as bridges and roads. Examples of projects in which a structural engineer may be involved include designing the structure of a skyscraper, calculating the load of a bridge, verifying the strength of a dam or designing a foundation for a house.
A structural engineer may also be involved in solving problems with existing structures, such as repairing a crack in a building or replacing an aging bridge.
