Colbert Engineering Ltd — builders in Ballynaneashagh

Colbert Engineering Ltd is based in Waterford, so Waterford is the area to start with. If your project is further out, you can ask whether it takes on work beyond the city before you arrange a visit or a conversation about the job.

Fees for structural engineering usually depend on the scope of the job, and the Structural Engineer price guide gives typical prices in Ireland. Factors include whether calculations, a survey or drawings are needed, and whether a site visit is required. You can ask for the fee to be set out in writing.

The only rule named for this work concerns energy retrofit projects, where a registered One Stop Shop may be involved and SEAI grant eligibility is worth checking first. For other structural work, you can ask about the engineer's qualifications and experience, and whether professional indemnity insurance is in place.

A first consultation with a structural engineer usually covers what you want to build or change, and often a look at the property or plans. You can ask what the visit includes, whether advice is written up afterwards, and how any further work would be charged.
