ᐅ Additional Costs Due to Revised Structural Engineering Calculations

Created on: 15 Jul 2022 16:02

Hello everyone,

We are currently in the final stages of our detailed planning. We wanted to convert a bathroom with a shower into a pantry and a guest WC. This would involve moving a wall on the ground floor by 45cm (18 inches) and adding an additional wall on the ground floor to divide the former shower bathroom. So far, we have not signed off on the detailed planning, but now we are being asked to pay €1500 net for a new structural calculation. Is this common practice?

I had assumed that the structural engineering would only be calculated after completing the detailed planning.

What do you think? Do I really have to cover the cost of a new calculation?

Thanks to you as well for the helpful contribution. Since you know the rest of the floor plan and also understand why it was designed that way, you can of course fully follow and evaluate it from your perspective.

You mean, don’t know.
At the moment, I’m not aware where the floor plans can be viewed or found. 🙄
You don’t have a floor plan topic, do you…

Yes, please show the complete floor plan and write down your requirements.

This might not directly answer your question, but it won’t cost you anything to check. The structural engineering has to be reviewed anyway.

Thank you, but we are quite happy with our floor plan as it is. If I post it online now, many people will have opinions and ideas on how it could be different or better. Thanks anyway for your offer to take a look at the floor plan!
