My SE discovered that RSJ fitted by {cowboy }contractor not put in properly and doesnt conform to B'Regs. Also other related structural issues with purlins in loft.
Thing is, SE is not yet chartered (but has much experience in the field and graduated several yrs ago). When I discussed regularisation with LABC they said Calcs and drawings can be provided by a Structural engineer even if he's not chartered.
However, contractor says subject to seeing Report he will rectify and replace RSJ if necessary. Im a little concerned that he may demand to see a Chartered Engineer's report.
Is that a credible concern? Is there any substantial difference between a Chartered and Non-CHartered Engineer? Do I need to worry about the lack of PII? My main aim is just to get it regularised...
thanks.
