Why is a Structural Engineer Important?
1. Safety First 
Structural engineers ensure your building can resist:
•    Dead loads (self-weight of the structure)
•    Live loads (occupants, furniture)
•    Environmental loads (wind, earthquake, rain)

2. Cost Efficiency
Proper structural design avoids:
•    Overdesign (wasting materials and money)
•    Underdesign (risk of failure and costly repairs)

3. Compliance with Codes
They ensure your project meets IS 456, IS 1893, and other relevant standards, reducing legal and safety risks.

4. Problem Solving
Structural engineers provide solutions for:
•    Irregular layouts
•    Basements and floating columns
•    Retrofitting and strengthening existing structures


5. Quality Assurance
They review construction quality, approve material tests, and monitor site execution to match design intent..
