Hey everyone,
I’m a structural engineer, and I’m often working with architects on new builds. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make myself (and my team) more useful to architects.
From your side of the table, what makes a structural engineer someone you want to work with again?
Do you see us as adding value or just a hurdle to jump over to get to the end?
How do you prefer engineers to communicate design constraints or risks without killing the creative flow?
Hi all,
I’m a structural engineer and I often work closely with architects on new builds. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make myself (and my team) more useful to architects.

Are there things engineers often do that make your job harder (even unintentionally)?
What kind of input do you actually find valuable early in design?
Do you see us as adding value or just a hurdle to jump over to get to the end?
How do you prefer engineers to communicate design constraints or risks without killing the creative flow?
I’m not looking to advertise, just hoping to understand how I can better support the architectural process so that collaboration feels smoother andmore productive.
Would really appreciate honest thoughts and examples (good or bad).
Cheers.
