Why Consultation by a Professional Engineer?
- He or she has a minimum confirmed years of training and experience.
- He or she can evaluate unusual building conditions
- It is conflict of interest for Professional Engineer to be contractor at the same time; hence, he or she can provide you with the best advisement or consultation without having any benefits in it.
- He or she works individually
Contractors and Licensed Professional Engineers
When people face a problem in their house, they may call a contractor for free estimation or fixing it. This seems to save the cost of Consulting with a Professional Engineer. However, contractors have limited experience outside of their field of job and profession. For instance, a plumber may not know any thing about the electrical problems of your Boiler and there waste your time and money; on the other hand contractors usually find work to do benefit financially.
