Building surveyors only deal with compliance under the NCC and are not certified to deal with Non-compliance for this you will need a Structural Engineer. Most structural engineers don't work on fixed design fees and commissions like Architects and designers do. I suggest you persevere in trying to find a design engineer that offers a complete service it will work out miles cheaper in the long run.my2c Your advice in Victoria would be wrong because design engineer is not a registered building practitioner in the class of architectural draftsperson or architect, therefore could not legally prepare architectural plans for someone else unless you are also a registered builder preparing your own plans. A competent architect or architectural draftsperson will obtain appropriate engineering services for the project. As usual, you are over inflating importance of engineers and whilst within their area of the expertise they are the wheel in the overall scheme of things they are just another cog in the wheel. You just don't seem to get it. It is the building Surveyor who administers Building Act and Regulations, engineer is just a spectator.
