# Structural Report Cost

> Structural engineer report costs: £250–£500 for a specific defect inspection and report, £500–£1,500 for a full structural survey, £150–£400 for beam calculations.

## Key facts

- A structural engineer's inspection of a specific defect, with a written report, typically costs £250–£500 in 2026 fees (varies by region; London at the top of the range).
- A full structural survey of a house typically costs £500–£1,500 depending on size and complexity (typical 2026 fees).
- Structural calculations for a single beam typically cost £150–£400, and building control will expect them before a load-bearing wall comes out.

BRE's damage categories 0 to 5 run from hairline to over 25mm; category 3 up, or diagonal stepped cracking, merits an engineer.

## Data

- Typical structural engineer fees, 2026. Methodology: Ranges reflect typical fees quoted for domestic structural engineering work observed across the UK market in 2026; they vary by region, property size and complexity.
