Based on the provided documentation, a structural engineer charges a fixed fee for an inspection report. Unlike a general contractor who provides a repair estimate, the structural engineer’s fee covers a diagnostic forensic evaluation and the delivery of a sealed report containing load calculations and repair specifications.

While the text identifies the pricing structure as a fixed fee, it does not list the specific dollar amount for this service. The cost typically covers:

• Forensic Data Collection: Precision elevation measurements, crack mapping, and settlement analysis.
• Engineering Analysis: Structural modeling and determination of failure mechanisms (such as differential settlement or lateral earth pressure).
• Comprehensive Reporting: A certified forensic report used as the basis for engineered repair solutions like helical piers or tiebacks.
