What is the difference between a chartered structural engineer and a chartered civil engineer?

The difference simply relates to which professional institution the engineer is a member of. Both chartered structural engineers (MIStructE) and chartered civil engineers (MICE) are equally technically qualified and reports prepared by them are equally acceptable to mortgage lenders. Whilst ensuring that a chartered engineer prepares your report should be your first priority, it is just as important to consider the specific experience of the engineer as most chartered engineers do not specialise in report writing. At Structural Engineers Reports, all of our engineers are chartered and have many years of report writing experience ensuring that our finished product is clear, easy to understand and makes sensible and practical recommendations.
