Structural Engineer Reports

At IKT Consulting, we have extensive experience in producing structural engineer reports and will always make sure to include key recommendations and practical advice that is tailored specifically to your project.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEER REPORTS

A structural report, also known as just an engineer’s report or a structural survey, is a fundamental part of every construction project.

Carried out by professional structural engineers, they provide a detailed evaluation of a building, outlining any repairs or maintenance that must be carried out. Any possible issues, defects and other noteworthy factors will also be provided in these reports.

What are Structural Engineer Reports for?

A structural engineer report is required by a number of different people and organisations including:

Mortgage lenders
Property owners
Homeowners
Property developers
Insurance companies
and more

If you’re looking to buy a property to live in or require an engineer report for commercial purposes, we’re here to help. There are three main types of structural engineer reports available. Let’s take a closer look at what they are.

Specific Structural Inspection (SSI)

The first type of report is a specific structural inspection, or an SSI. This kind of report is a visual inspection of a particular issue or concern that has been raised about a property.

This report may focus on one or more issues that have been specifically mentioned, and will state whether or not it is a significant problem and, if it is, what action needs to be taken to rectify the issue.

However, while the core purpose of this inspection may be specific, if any other problems are noticed these may also be noted in the report.

General Structural Inspection (GSI)

In contrast, a general structural inspection will not focus on just one problem. Instead, this report will review the entirety of a property assessing whether the load-bearing elements are adequate.

This will include:

Roofs
Floors
Walls
Lintels
Beams
and more

The inspection will also take into account surrounding areas of a site that might be prone to risks. Following the inspection, a detailed report will be provided identifying any structural problems and concerns and outlining how they can be fixed. – Where repairs are required, budgets may also be provided in the report.
