Dear sefian

• The fees paid for the structural consultancy is on wide range from rock bottom to the high based on the quality of the output. This should be regulated . The services of structural engineer   should be in  a prescribed manner i.e they should be uniform throught the country.  Template for design document and the drawing should be prescribed.

• Standard system should be in place for the services  of the structural engineer . The payment for structural consultancy should be prescribed based on time spent on discussions, revisions, changes in design and drawing apart from agreed design and drawing. Payment schedule should be uniform for all the structural engineers.

• All the structural engineering services should conform to the standard prescribed. hence by this way we can avoid variation in the payment to the structural engineer ,denied payment , delayed payment etc.,.

• 
  This forum should also be a federation and have state unit,district unit etc., quality system for the structural engineering and fees should be prescribed by this forum from time to time.
  
• 
  
• 
  This is the right time to unite and act and redeem our profession form the clutches of  persons who are denying honour due for this profession..
