Draft Structural Calculation Page Structural Calculations Enquiry Form (Residential Home Improvements) V1.2 Step 1 of 6 16% Please complete the following form and submit your details. The form is designed to gather the key information typically required to provide a quotation for structural calculations for residential renovation or improvement works. The quotation will be based on the assumption that the property is structurally sound. This form takes approximately 3–5 minutes to complete. If you are unsure about any answers, you may provide your best estimate and an engineer will review the details. The questions within the form will guide you through the information typically required. Where relevant, additional services may be recommended that could assist if further information or assessment is required before structural calculations can be prepared. Before you start Have your property address and a brief description of the proposed works available. If possible, prepare any drawings, plans, sketches, or photos relating to the project. If you are providing a link to files (for example Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer), please ensure the sharing permissions allow access. What happens next An engineer will review your responses and supporting information. If any additional details are required, we will contact you. You will then receive confirmation of the appropriate next step, such as a quotation for structural calculations or guidance on any additional information that may be required. If you are unsure about any aspect of the proposed works, we recommend you complete the form with your builder, who should be able to assist in providing the most accurate information. Which of the following best describes your current stage?(Required) I have sufficient information (drawings or clear scope) to proceed with a quotation for structural calculations I have discussed the works with my builder and can proceed based on that information I would like an engineer to assess the property and advise on the structural requirements before proceeding If you would like an engineer to assess the property before proceeding, we can carry out an initial review to define the structural requirements for your project. A visual inspection of the existing structure to understand its condition A review of any available drawings, sketches, or proposed works Identification of the structural elements likely to require design Clear guidance on the scope of structural calculations required This allows us to prepare an accurate quotation for the structural calculations based on the specific requirements of your project. The fee for this service will depend on the nature and extent of the proposed works. Request an engineer assessment Takes approximately 1–2 minutes to request.
