What role a structural engineer plays separately from your architect, and how to verify qualifications before hiring.
Engineer vs architect roles
Your architect designs the layout and aesthetics; a structural engineer designs the load-bearing system and reinforcement details.
Verify NEC registration
Confirm the engineer is registered with the Nepal Engineering Council before signing any agreement.
Request structural drawings and calculations
A proper engineer provides stamped structural drawings with reinforcement details, not just a verbal sign-off.
Site supervision agreement
Clarify whether the engineer's fee includes periodic site visits during construction or only initial design work.
