Hey guys,
I'm currently looking for a structural engineer to come out to discuss the removal of 2 internal walls and draw up and calculate as required for building regs.
I've spent the last 24hrs emailing all the local ones, but they don't seem to come out without a payment!
I thought it would be like any other trade, where I could get 2 or 3 round for a quote and decide from there.. But no!
They are all asking if I've got any previous drawings of the property so they can get an idea of what they're looking at, but surely they're just better off coming out to see it?!
Is this normal practice?
Cheers
