When do I need a structural engineer?

For any RCC or steel structure, for approvals in most jurisdictions, and whenever an existing building is altered.

What does an MEP consultant do?

Designs and coordinates mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems so services fit the architecture and perform efficiently.

Measures quantities from drawings, prepares the BOQ, compares contractor rates and tracks variations and payments.

A PMC manages schedule, cost, contractors and quality on your behalf when design and execution are too complex to run alone.

Designs outdoor space — grading, planting, paving, water and lighting — as a functioning system rather than decoration.

Check registration or licence where it applies, ask for comparable completed work, and confirm scope and liability in writing.
