Neighbour's having a loft built and RSJs put into the party wall.
I've been issued with a notice, getting a PW award seems sensible.
I was wondering whether the purpose of a survey prior to the award should/could involve an assessment of whether the proposed design will put the existing party wall at risk?
I ask because I can't work out whether I should get an engineer to do the survey or someone without engineer qualifications (who would be cheaper). I've been told I should get an engineer to do it so they can work out whether its a safe design.
Thanks to anyone who responds.
