What Should I Have the Structural Engineer Do?
Sellers Answers
Have him survey your foundation and write you a report of his findings. (This will forever remain as a part of the records of your home. Anyone you sell your home to must be informed that you have a structural engineer’s report.)
For a slab foundation this report will cost about $150 to $250; the cost will be approximately $300 for a pier and beam foundation. Many engineers won't do pier and beam inspections because they're living and eating so well at $150 to $200 an inspection, they can't fit under a house anymore!
