FAQs

Do I need a structural engineer for a renovation?

If the work touches a load path — walls, floors, roofs or footings — councils will almost always require a structural engineer's certification.

How long does a structural report take?

Simple residential reports take 1–2 weeks in Hobart; complex sites with geotechnical input can take 4–6 weeks.
