Cracks in walls or foundations requiring structural assessment Hire a pro

Not all cracks are structural — paint shrinkage and seasonal timber movement cause many hairline cracks that are cosmetic. Cracks wider than 3mm, cracks that open and close seasonally, diagonal cracks from window corners, or cracks accompanied by door and window misalignment warrant a structural engineer's assessment. The engineer will classify the crack, identify the cause and recommend whether monitoring, underpinning or other intervention is needed.

Load-bearing wall removal requiring engineered beam design Hire a pro

Removing a load-bearing wall requires a structural engineer to design a steel or LVL beam that replaces the wall's load-carrying function. The engineer's stamped drawings are required by the building certifier to issue the building permit and are also needed by the licensed builder to install the beam correctly. Engineering fees for a residential beam design typically cost $800–$2,000, depending on the complexity of the loading scenario.

Deck or balcony requiring structural engineer certification Hire a pro

Decks, balconies and pergolas attached to the house in high-wind zones or above 1.5m from the ground require engineer-designed and certified structural connections. The structural engineer will specify post sizes, footing depths, bearer sizes, joist spacings and fixing schedules. In Queensland's cyclone zones and in alpine areas with snow loads, engineering certification is mandatory even for smaller structures. Retain the engineer's certificate with the property records.
