It\u2019s an immensely vast title that implies an ability to analyse and design structures. These structures include everything from buildings, bridges, towers, dams, tunnels and much more.The core role is to underpin and sustain built environments; to ensure safety, serviceability and durability and last but not least, a pleasing aesthetic.Unlike the average, everyday structural engineer, Buildfix\u2019s structural engineers have a much more specific focus.<\/p>\n<h2>Your average structural engineer is like a GP<\/h2>\n<p>The title of \u2018structural engineer\u2019 is to the engineering industry what the title of General Practitioner (GP) is to the medical industry. It\u2019s an overarching, umbrella title and doesn\u2019t imply a specific skill. It implies general skill.Like a GP, your average, everyday structural engineer will be able to give you a diagnosis if your home is experiencing structural challenges. You\u2019ll be able to call them up, have them come to your location, look around and give you an opinion.But like a GP, their diagnosis will be a top-level one, sourced from general skill and knowledge. They\u2019ll be able to give you a few pointers as to what should happen, but they won\u2019t know exactly what needs to happen to fix your home.<\/p>\n<p>2<br \/>\ndefault<br \/>\ndefault<\/p>\n<p>40<br \/>\ndefault<\/p>\n<h2>Buildfix\u2019s structural engineers are specialists<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for an in-depth, accurate diagnosis of your home that leads to reliable solutions, you need to speak to specialists.This is where Buildfix steps in.Buildfix\u2019s structural engineers focus on the remedial action of failing residential structures such as homes and apartment blocks.General structural engineers know an immense amount about buildings and how to keep them upright and safe. But they don\u2019t know as much as Buildfix\u2019s engineers about fixing residential structures.They won\u2019t be able to bring our cost-effective, specific solutions to see that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildfix.com.au\/cracked-walls\/\">wall cracks<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildfix.com.au\/leaning-wall-repair\/\"> leaning walls<\/a> and cracked arches are fixed for good. They won\u2019t know how to stop a house from sinking the way we do.Would you seek out a GP for cancer treatment? No. You\u2019d seek out an oncologist. Would you seek out a GP to remedy issues in your nerves, spinal cord and brain? No, you\u2019d talk to a neurologist for solutions.So why talk to a regular everyday structural engineer about your home\u2019s structural problems when you can speak to Buildfix\u2019s?<\/p>\n<p>2<br \/>\ndefault<br \/>\ndefault<\/p>\n<p>40<br \/>\ndefault<\/p>\n<h2>Speak to our specialists<\/h2>\n<p>If your home is undergoing structural problems, don\u2019t speak to general structural engineers. It will only lead to a misdiagnosis of your home\u2019s problems and a misquoting of your home\u2019s foundation repair costs.Instead, speak to our specialist structural engineers. They don\u2019t bring general knowledge, they bring specific, specialist knowledge. And they\u2019re on a mission to fix up your house at an affordable cost, for good.If your home is suffering from foundational problems, we\u2019d be happy to help with a FREE inspection.Just give us a call on 1300 854 115 to book a FREE inspection today.<\/p>\n<p>2<br \/>\ndefault<br \/>\ndefault<\/p>\n<p>40<br \/>\ndefault<\/p>\n<p>View more Help &amp; Advice<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildfix.com.au\/help-and-advice\/\">https:\/\/www.buildfix.com.au\/help-and-advice\/<\/a><br \/>\nleft<br \/>\n#f15339<br \/>\n#ffffff<br \/>\n2<br \/>\nviewmore_help<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Structural engineers are highly qualified people but not all of them are the same&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[60],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Normal structural engineers vs Buildfix&#039;s: What&#039;s the difference?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Structural engineers aren\u2019t all the same.
