When it comes to doing any work on a property, homeowners and property managers can save a lot of money by doing some jobs themselves. Painting and decorating, some basic plumbing, landscaping a garden and even some small bits of electrical work can be done without any formal training, and there are hundreds of hours of ‘how to’ videos on the internet where people can pick up the basics of a job to save the cost of calling out a professional. Sometimes though, buildings need specialist knowledge, and it does not matter how many online videos a person sees, without the proper training there is some stuff that you cannot do alone!

What is a Structural Engineer?
Enfield homeowners probably want to know, what actually is a structural engineer? A structural engineer, Enfield or anywhere else, is a highly skilled professional whose job it is to understand, assess and design the strength of buildings and structures. While an interior designer is there to make buildings look nice, and a builder is there to put the parts together, the structural engineer does all of the technical mathematical equations and analysis of a structure to understand how strong it is, how heavy it is and how stable the building is. A structural engineer, Enfield or elsewhere, is essential for building work because without the right understanding of the structure, carrying out any building work becomes a game of guess work and chance. For example, before adding an extension to the upstairs of a house, a structural engineer will be able to work out which parts of the existing structure are loadbearing and if the addition of more weight on the top floor will damage the structure below. A structural engineer can offer critically assess and understand the capability of a building and make sure that any work is carried out in a way that will work and be safe.
