Structural Engineer

Featured Replies

Can anyone recommend where I can find a structural engineer to do a report on a house with regards to cracks appearing in walls etc.

 

Thanks in advance

Can't help with an engineer I'm afraid, but if the house is of conventional Thai construction (pole and beam) the walls are not load-bearing and any cracking will be purely cosmetic.

 

If you have cracks in the columns or beams then you need an engineer.

"I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

Any company building a large multi storey structure should be able to help you.

Or try an architect firm.

 

As Crossy says, if it's just the walls, that wouldn't be a problem if not load bearing. I used a cold chisel and hammer to open up the big ones in my house, and used filler to close them ( if you don't, various wildlife will take up occupation ), and if it was just a crack I didn't do anything.

 

Go to the CMU Engineering Faculty and ask to speak with the head of the Mechanical Engineering department.  They can be very helpful.

Or maybe Civil Engineering. Mechanical Engineering is a broad profession that can include anything from structural mechanics, to thermodynamics, to metallurgy, to computer programming.

Would help if the OP posted some photos of the problem, so we know if it's serious or not.

Posters can help themselves by giving more information.

If in Mae Rim, by any chance, then yes I can give you a super competent, honest guy. Usually you have to find someone in your locale, because the good ones are too busy to travel far for mere inspection.
