Structural Engineer Cost Calculator

Three questions, an estimated fee range, and how it compares with the whole job. Built on published 2026 Irish figures, with the sources listed.

StructuralEngineer.ie built this structural engineer cost calculator so you can see a realistic fee range before calling anyone. Pick the job, the size and how complex it is. The formula places you within the published market range for that job, and everything is shown, including the sources.

Estimated engineering fee

€400–€650

Load-bearing wall removal · published range €400–€900

Compared with the whole job

Whole job: steel, propping, labour and making good: about €2,500–€7,000.

Engineering is roughly 6–26% of that, and it decides how much steel and concrete the rest pays for.

Compared with skipping it

Without an engineer's inspection before covering, certifying the work at sale usually means opening up ceilings or floors, plus the delay to your closing date.

Ranges are published 2026 Irish market figures (sources below). The estimator places your job within the range using the size and complexity you choose. It is not a quote: the fee is fixed in writing before the visit. Source for this job: Cork Demolitions; BuildTech cost guides, 2026.

How the estimate works

Each job has a published fee range. Complexity sets where you sit in that range (straightforward jobs toward the bottom, complex ones toward the top), and size nudges it up or down. Results are rounded to the nearest €50.

Where a whole-job figure exists, the calculator shows the engineering share of it. For the full breakdown, read the structural engineer cost guide.
