Checking Engineer Services
At Stephen Hawes & Co., we are pleased to offer Checking Engineer Services to support clients, surveyors, and project teams in ensuring that construction works meet structural safety standards and minimise risks to neighbouring properties. This independent review focuses solely on verifying the structural designs, calculations, and documentation prepared by the project engineer, giving all parties confidence and clarity.
What is a Checking Engineer Service?
Our Checking Engineer Service provides an impartial assessment of the structural information supplied by your design team. We review drawings, calculations, and specifications to confirm that the proposed works, both temporary and permanent, comply with industry codes and contractual requirements. While the project engineer retains design responsibility, we identify any omissions or inconsistencies and recommend practical improvements.
Our Process
​
-
Document Review & Comment Schedule: We examine all structural drawings, calculations, and specifications, then produce a detailed comment schedule highlighting queries or areas needing clarification.
-
Liaison with Project Engineers: We engage directly with your design team to resolve queries, collate any additional information, and confirm that revisions meet best-practice standards.
-
Report Preparation: Our findings are consolidated into a clear, concise report—suitable for reference in contracts, Party Wall Awards, planning submissions, or internal quality records.
-
Additional Advisory Support: We can advise on special foundation solutions, monitoring strategies during construction, and appropriate securities for expenses to protect your financial position.
