how much for structural engineers calcs?

[calvert]

I need calcs for a pretty straight forward double pitch timber roof 15m x 4m. Would I need a complete set of drawings or can I just get a list of dimensions and fixing requirements to show the BCO? Can someone give a rough idea of teh cost for this please?

trusses or traditional cut roof?

if trusses then the truss manufacturer will provide calc's with their product.

Traditional cut roof, its so simple there seemed no point investigating trusses. Where's Shytalkz when you need him?

He's busy charging £720 per day + VAT and travel time at £300 per day.

hmmm.

Yes, £90/h is the going rate in these parts

4x2 rafters at 400, ditto ceiling joists, 38x150 ridge board, 6x2 central binder, 3x3 hangers at 1200 M12 bolt and 36x3 washers top and bottom; 4x1 diagonal bracing either end, gable straps at 2m centres across 3 rafters and joists, nogged at strap positions, 4x2 wallplate with vertical straps* at 2m centres.

Joe - not on a Sunday, I make enough during the week, thanks .

*optional extra, if you read BRegs (see other thread)

Just like your local garage labour rates; and about 50% of those of your local solicitor.

Shut up banging this drum (and get it right as well ), it's tedious - just like your other threads about immigration, racism and oil.

Thanks for the reply Shytalkz. I've sent you an e-mail. Perhaps you'd like to send me a reply.
Cheers
