    Have Planning Permission to build a "straight forward" 2 storey house.
    I'm looking for a recommendation for an Engineer in Limerick/Clare border area -
    Will need him/her to determine required foundations (strip) and slab layout for pre-cast concrete floors (or would the concrete Companies do this for us? i.e what walls to build on flat),
    do the 5 or so site visits/stage inspections for drawdown including letters for the Bank, sign off on Build.
    A good friend of ours built last year but they would not recommend their Engineer.
    Also can anyone who recently did a self build tell me how much their Engineer cost + for what level of service?

    Hi ROK.....building at the min in Limerick. PM me for details about an engineer. Didn't have a clue about where to even start with the house but he went through everything with us, even redesigned some of our internal spaces making them more user friendly without costing us more cash.....chuffed to bits with him in fairness.

    Later,
    Cul :)

    Hi Cul_irl

    I'm hoping to start a self build using a contractor and engineer to complete mortgage application and certify building stages. Could you recommend someone and costs attached?
    Thanks a mill Soulsister..

    Just for mortgage certs and final Certificate of Compliance with Planning Permission and Building Regulations you are looking at about €1,500, but that is likely to vary, price around.

    All recommendations by PM please.
