What it is
A structural (civil) engineer calculates the footings, columns, beams and slabs so the house carries its loads safely. A site engineer then checks that the work on site matches those drawings: steel, concrete, levels and quality.
Key points
- Designs the structure from the soil report
- Issues structural drawings and bar bending details
- Checks steel before every concrete pour
- Tracks quality, curing and safety on site
Why it matters
Most structural problems, such as cracks, sagging slabs and leaks, come from work that drifted from the design. A good engineer on site prevents them.
