Many structural engineers have set up shop in the market, but it is usually somewhat challenging to find the best one. There may be a lot of choices but you need to keep some basic tips in mind to select the best structural design consultancy in Korea.

What you should look for?

The main things that you should look for in a structural design consultancy are accreditation, quality assurance and association. This means that the structural engineers should be accredited by some neutral international organization which will ensure that they are following a minimum standard of quality in their modus operandi. They also should be members of some organisations which provide membership to companies in this industry and only to those companies which follow a set code of ethics. The company in question should also be able to provide different types of services like residential, commercial, educational, infrastructure, heritage and landscape. They should also have complete working knowledge of fire safety engineering and BER certificates and audits. Another aspect which should be kept in mind is disability access while also offering a host of services as mentioned below:

Services

Design and approval – This aspect deals with the preliminary detailing and design of the building. The building could be for any purpose like a house, apartment, office, outlets, retail shops, factory, industrial units, hotels, warehouse, refurbishment or heritage building. The main job of the structural health monitoring companies is to undertake the designing process of building elements including floor, foundation, beams, columns, walls, roofs, basement and others.

Structural surveys and reports – Structural surveys are conducted both on new properties as well as an existing structure. Both critical and non critical items like settlement, subsidence, cracking of the wall and floor, dampness, fire damage and more are included in a survey.

General engineering reports – These reports are required on different occasions including legal disputes with building contractor, monitoring property, damage to property, party wall disputes and others.

Certificate of compliance – this is an aspect of structural engineering which has provision for a certificate of compliance with the planning and building regulations. The tall building design consultancy company should comply with all of these. Project management – This is a service which will guide you right from the inception of the project to its completion. The service provider will act as a liaison between your contractor and you, check quality, offer cost control on project, offer technical advice and provide product advice and more.

Property defects survey and reports – The engineering consultant company will provide settlement, subsidence, damp or mould, wall and floor cracking, fire damage, water leakage, interior and exterior wall insulation, loss of heat, quality of workmanship to consider a few.
