I am having a loft conversion and refurbishment of the rest of the house. The work will involve removing couple of walls and we needed a structural engineer to calculate the supporting beams..etc.The guy I got through recommendation has quoted me £1200 to do the work. Is that reasonable? I have never had to do this before so I am not sure but a friend who had work done before in his house told me that I should expect a quote around £500

Seems high to me from my limited knowledge.
I think we paid £400 for an engineer to do calcs for an extension involved a few beams and some deep foundations and roof design. This did not involve a site visit as the architect did the drawings.
As mentioned get another quote"We act as though comfort and luxury are the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about” – Albert Einstein0 -
I paid £120 for our structural engineer to do calcs for a steel supporting beam and the accompanying drawings. It involved a single site visit.Thinking critically since 1996....0
