FAQs

What is the role of a structural engineer (constructor) in a construction project?

A structural engineer (constructor) is responsible for designing the structural framework of the building—such as columns, beams, ceilings, foundations, and more—while ensuring compliance with safety standards and legal regulations. Their role is to guarantee that the structure is stable, safe, and durable for the long term.

It is advisable to consult a structural engineer during the initial planning phase, alongside the architect. Early collaboration between the professionals helps reduce costs, enables smarter design, and prevents mistakes during the construction phase.

Architectural plans focus on the design and layout of the building’s space, while structural (constructive) plans deal with the engineering design of the building’s framework—the part that bears all loads and ensures the structure’s stability.

An engineer’s inspection is intended to ensure that the actual construction matches the approved engineering plans. The inspection includes checking construction materials, work quality, reinforcements, concrete casting, and more.

What is the difference between architectural plans and structural plans?

Architectural plans focus on the design and layout of the building’s interior and exterior spaces, while structural plans deal with the engineering design of the building’s framework – the part that carries all the loads and ensures the structure’s stability.

A structural engineer (constructor) is responsible for designing the structural framework of a building – for example, columns, beams, ceilings, foundations, and more – while ensuring full compliance with safety standards and legal regulations. Their role is to make sure the building remains stable, safe, and durable for many years.

It is recommended to involve a structural engineer already at the initial planning stage, alongside the architect. Early collaboration between the professionals enables cost savings, smarter design, and helps prevent mistakes during the execution phase.
