WHAT THIS SERVICE DOES
A useful report does not hide uncertainty. It makes the next decision safer.
A structural report is a formal written record of the engineer’s observations, assessment, assumptions, limitations and recommendations. Its scope is shaped around the decision it needs to support, rather than presenting a generic description of the property.
Why it is required
It may be required by a lender, buyer, Building Control reviewer, insurer or project team when verbal advice is not enough. A clearly framed report helps others understand what was inspected, what evidence exists and what further work may be needed.
The value is clarity that can be shared. The client can move forward knowing where the evidence is strong, where access was limited and what action is genuinely proportionate.
What you receive
01
Purpose-led scope
The inspection and report are framed around the decision, approval or record you need.
02
Professional opinion
Findings and limitations are separated clearly from assumptions and recommendations.
03
Useful next steps
Further investigation, remedial design or monitoring is stated only where it is proportionate.
BEHIND THE FINISHES
What your engineer is tracing before the work disappears.
Structural engineering is largely about understanding the elements a finished home will conceal. These are the decisions that protect safety, comfort, approvals and the cost of changing course later.
01
Evidence behind the opinion
Measurements, photographs, patterns and contextual information supporting the conclusion.
02
Inaccessible structure
Areas concealed by finishes that must be recorded as limitations rather than assumed.
03
Change over time
Whether monitoring or historic information is needed before movement can be classified.
04
Decision-specific scope
The exact question asked by a lender, authority, buyer or project team.
A straightforward route from brief to build.
01 Share the address, proposed works and any drawings or photographs.
02 We confirm scope, fee, information needed and whether a visit is appropriate.
03 Your engineer delivers the agreed information and supports reasonable review queries.

Questions, answered clearly.
Can you provide an adequacy report?
Yes, where the existing works can be assessed with sufficient evidence. Opening-up, dimensions or supporting calculations may be required.
Will the report satisfy a lender?
Requirements vary. Send us the lender or surveyor wording before appointment so the scope can be confirmed.
