anyone had much experience with knocking out walls and had a structural enginner involved??
is this a reasonable quote – i am in melbourne
Structural Design = $500
Certification of Compliance = $150
Soil Report = To be provide by client.
Site Visit = Not quoted.
Total = $650 + GST
That seems pretty reasonable, there is a bit of time in measuring, calculating, drawing and writing up what you need, so for the work that goes into it, it seems like a reasonable cost.
Yes, it's reasonable.
I'm a structural engineer and that is the absolute minimum i would charge. that would get you a beam size, columns, pad footing and basic connection details.
Anything fancy like cranks in the beam or special connections etc and I would def. be charging more.
question: is there an architect involved that will provide the engineer with the information, loading conditions, span length etc?
I assume you know for sure the wall is load bearing/
