How does invoicing/payment work for most Structural Engineer projects in Ann Arbor?

Every project differs, but you should ask any structural engineer for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any structural engineering firms work is done.

If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the structural engineer to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.

  • Obviously you want to do a visual inspection. Even if you're unfamiliar with structural engineering firms work, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions (even basic ones like, what did you do?).

  • Request that the structural engineer do a follow-up visit to check on the work. Most professionals are willing to do this, especially if you ask them.
