Structural & Civil Engineering FAQs — Bedfordview & Gauteng

Most new developments and many alterations require engineer-designed, stamped drawings for municipal approval and safe construction. If your project involves suspended slabs, foundations, structural steel, or a building permit, you'll almost certainly need a registered structural engineer. Contact us with your project details and we'll confirm what's required.

Pr Eng stands for Professional Engineer — a designation for engineers registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa who are qualified to take professional responsibility for engineering designs. It matters because a Pr Eng can legally sign off and stamp the drawings your project and permit require. At Edge Engineering, a registered Pr Eng is dedicated to every single project.
