What Does a Structural Engineer Do? - Construction Facts and Tips

http://books.gregvan.com/structural_engineering_books.htm What does a structural engineer do? This is the person responsible for designing the concrete building foundation and most of the structural parts within the house. A structural engineer will provide a building contractor with all of the lumber sizes for the floors, walls, ceilings and roof. Concrete footings might require metal reinforcement and specific types of concrete, depending upon the location of the building and the type of soil that on the property. A structural engineer will also provide floor joist, roof rafters, beams, window and door headers and structural post locations for heavy loads throughout the house.
