Structural engineer recommendations

We used Mark at Torcal as recommended via this forum but we wouldn't recommend. When things went wrong with our builders and we needed him to come urgently to assess our site he wasn't interested and said he couldn't attend for 2 weeks. We were in a dire situation and he completely let us down. We ended up getting a new structural engineer to come in which cost us again.

I am at the planning stage of an extension project and a structural engineer is someone who I need to talk to.


To manage costs I am having to consider management of the project myself, so I am currently in the process of getting approximate quotes from all trades. Once I have all the quotes, and an approximate total, I will be able to decide whether or not to commit to the formal architectural/structural drawing, planning application etc.


Would be great to have a chat about your services and my plans.


FYI:

My plans are to have an L-shaped extension to a garden floor in a victorian house converted into two flats.


I have my initial draft plans (accessible online) which I've been using to talk as accurately as possible with other trades.


How best should we get in contact from here?

    • He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.
    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
