Now as a developer, you personally will not be involved in any of these calculations, but you should understand that only a Trained Professional Structural Engineer is capable of doing this work.

So make sure you are engaging a trained and qualified structureal engineer for work and that they have knowledge of area in which you develop.

You may have seen a recent series of TV programs where teams of specialist demolish buildings in a spectacular way using a series of charges. These tend to be old buildings built in forties and fifties.

However with advent of reinforced concrete building frames and pre-stressed concrete as are used in todays modern high rise buildings, you will rarelt see these buildings ever being demolished.

They are just so strong and reinforcing steele so well designed that it will be cheaper to completely renovate building, than demolish and re-build.

One other aspect that may prevent demolishing taking place is to do with changing site development capacity by Local Authority. The current Regulations may not allow a building as big as is currently on site, being build again.

Civil Engineers

Within construction engineering there are two specialities; Structural Engineers, as described above, and Civil Engineers.

Civil engineering is concerned with design of roads and bridges. I only mention this so that you are not confused if someone asks you what kind of engineers you are looking for and you don't know that there are two types of specialization.

Both Structural and Civil engineers belong to same Professional Association.

As I explained in my other articles, when you want to find a structural engineer, you can contact their Professional Association in your country and then be directed to local Chapter of area of your interest.
