What Affects Structural Engineer Cost
The price depends on the complexity of the project and the structural changes required.

Ground conditions, foundation requirements, and whether the project is residential or commercial also play a role.
Structural Surveys
AC Design Solution provides comprehensive structural survey London services for homeowners requiring detailed structural assessments. Our qualified surveyors and local structural engineers work together to deliver thorough inspection services for existing buildings and proposed extensions.
When You Need Structural Surveys
A structural survey is recommended before purchasing a property with possible structural issues. It is also advisable before major home renovation projects or following damage from signs of subsidence or settlement. We also provide full basement impact assessments where excavation or lower ground floor works are proposed.
Where projects involve earth retention, our team designs retaining walls to full structural engineering standards. For chimney removals, see our guide on the cost to remove chimney breast.

Housing Structural Engineering FAQ
“Planning a home extension? Our FAQ section addresses the key questions homeowners ask about structural engineering requirements, costs, timelines, and design processes to help you make informed decisions about your project.”
Q. What do you need from me to start my extension project?
Yes, most house extensions require structural engineering calculations to comply with Building Regulations. You’re likely to need a structural engineer when your extension involves new foundations, making structural changes, or significant loads on your existing building.
A structural engineer can provide the necessary calculations and drawings required by local building control. Structural engineers can also carry out a structural feasibility review early on. This confirms whether your proposed scheme is viable before architectural drawings are finalised. When building an extension, engineers don’t just design they ensure the stability of the building and structural integrity throughout the entire project.
How much does a house extension structural engineer cost?
Our house extension structural engineer costs start from £800 for simple single storey extensions. Double storey extensions typically cost from £1,200. Loft conversions start from £900. The structural engineer’s cost depends on the complexity of the project and any specific structural issues involved.
All fees include complete structural calculations, drawings, and Building Control documentation. We provide structural engineering services with transparent pricing so projects don’t cost a lot more than expected with hidden fees.
How long do extension structural calculations take?
Most extension structural calculations are completed within 1 to 2 weeks of instruction. Simple single storey extensions may be completed faster. Complex projects requiring structural surveys or structural damage assessments may require up to 3 weeks.
Our structural engineer’s expertise ensures calculations are thorough and accurate. We provide realistic timescales during your initial consultation and keep you informed throughout your building works.
What do you need from me to start my extension project?
We need your architectural design drawings or detailed sketches showing the proposed layout and dimensions. Information about your existing building construction is helpful. Previous structural reports or building survey details are also useful if available.
A structural inspection may be required for complex extensions or where possible structural issues are unclear. An engineer may also need to carry out a site visit before work begins. We will discuss all requirements during your free initial consultation and provide a clear checklist for your home renovation project.
