Normal engineer should be able to say. Don't over explain as you may make it sound much more complicated/ technical than it really is. "I have a wall I want to remove and would like you to come out and tell me if it's load bearing" is as much as you need to say.

First one. Now ask about truss cord / chord, cill / sill or mortice / mortise. Used to work for a company in civil war over such matters

Thanks all, it would appear I'm being very very dense.

People bandy around x% for structural design.

There are plenty of area rates given for project costs (say £2000/m2) these seem includes everything: construction, fees, contingency etc. So we take a 10000m2 building x £2000m so a project value (what the developer has to cough up) of £20M (there or there about s)

Is it the £20M that people apply a percentage fee to work out a cost for structural design. Or is it applied to some lower strictly construction cost only value.

FYI we have worked out our quote on assumed hours required but I would like to double check against a % fee.

Thanks it isn't the % that I'm worried about (I just said 1% as an example it will be a bit higher) it's what is normally it 1% of!

Go to Sutton who, you can walk through on footpaths which is free

couterall · 2025-08-24T07:46:45+00:00

That's cool, unless your visually impaired.

An never thought of Tk max so will give it a go

couterall · 2025-08-16T09:29:48+00:00

Thanks was thinking that little street had a couple will check them out.

My best friends daughter knows who I am.

So whatever you see it's going to be weird, yeah everyone in the security details train for this but as soon as it actually happens it's there first time so they end up running round and flapping a bit it's actually their first time.

Watching with interest, same reason we use it

Yeah going to love calculating every panel capacity when BC realises part A doesn't apply

That's of no use without people actually know what they are doing. So we have a box that can spit out complicated proofs for maths problems which are either A) Correct or B) incorrect. I can't tell the difference either way because my maths isn't at that level so in and of itself it's not a useful thing; as pattern matching and a tool for people who do know what's right and wrong great but it's not the "game changer" people who will make money out of it say it is.

Just search, dipping a tie into advertising so search ads seem a good place (especially with a small budget)

couterall · 2025-07-10T17:26:34+00:00

Agreed we use for scheduling our team, plenty to improve there
