The 1-Hour On-Site Structural Engineer Project Walk-Through Meeting is to provide the opportunity for the project architect, to onboard the client-appointed structural engineer to enable collaboration and discuss the project on-site to ensure the project aligns with the client's project brief.

During the meeting, we will undertake a project walkthrough with a set of printed-out proposed drawings, which includes the proposed floor plans, elevation, and sections, where we can discuss the project proposal.

This will give the client-appointed structural engineer the opportunity to review the existing structure (if applicable) to ensure that the project is able to align with the client's proposed set of drawings.

The meeting also provides an opportunity for the structural engineer to ask questions, clarify any issues, and suggest changes or modifications to the plans if necessary.

By doing so, the meeting can help ensure that the project is completed successfully, safely, and within the specified project time frame and project budget.

For your proposed scope of works for the project, we require the following information to relate to our client-approved drawings which were submitted to the awarded client-appointed structural engineer.

To understand the site conditions and soil characteristics to assess the foundation requirements of the building.

1. Analyse the loads that the building is likely to encounter during its lifetime, such as dead loads, live loads, wind loads, snow loads, and earthquake loads.

2. Select appropriate structural systems and materials that can resist the loads, while considering the environmental factors that may affect the building, such as corrosion and fire.

3. Designing the structural elements, such as columns, beams, slabs, walls, and foundations, to meet the minimum strength and stability requirements set out in Part A of building regulations.

4. Providing calculations, drawings, and specifications that demonstrate how the structural design meets the requirements of Part A, as well as any other relevant building codes and standards.

The information that we require for the project as mentioned above includes:

1. Structural calculations that demonstrate the adequacy of the building's design, including the load capacity and stability of the structural elements.

2. Drawings that show the layout, dimensions, and details of the structural elements, including the connections between them.

3. Specifications that describe the materials and construction methods to be used in the building's construction.

4. A declaration of structural adequacy that confirms that the building's design complies with Part A of building regulations and that the building is safe and stable for its intended use.
