Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
I'm converting an old warehouse into a dwelling. Part of this project involves building 2 new, non-strucutral external walls. I would like to build these off the existing concrete slabs to avoid the need for new foundations. Our BCO has said -
'This will require justification from a structural engineer if it is proposed to build the new cavity walling off of the existing concrete slabs'
I'm looking for a suitably qualified structural engineer who can provide me with this justification (or a redesign of the proposed walls, that can be constructed off the existing slab).
I haven't set a budget, I'm happy to accept proposals for a fixed fee or to pay per hour if the complexity requires it.
Also, I haven't uploaded the plans (planning and building regulations) because I'd prefer to have a conversation first to identify a suitable enginner with the right experience and qualifications.
EDIT -
This job requires a fully qualified structural engineer with a qualification recognised in the UK. Please provide details of this when you reply. Thank you.
