I had a terrible experience with a member of this professional body. When I contacted the institute for help, a very nice member of staff explained their complaints process to me. In a nutshell, there's ~7-9 months of he said/she said before any decision is made and there's no beneficial outcome for the consumer.

My experience brings me to tears every time I recount it. I have no wish to repeatedly relive it for no outcome.

There's no reason for engineers to adhere to the "code of conduct". Engineers have no incentive not to over-engineer solutions to offer a cheap or sustainable solution because there's negative outcome for them.

I dread the day I have further need for a structural engineer as I couldn't find any recommendations for ANY within the industry. They seem to be known as a necessary, expensive evil. If I were a professional fee-paying member of this body, I would be disappointed that my fees don't help distinguish the good from the bad for the benefit of consumers/environment.

2 structural engineers were booked and we received their CVs and photographs. However, the 1 structural engineer who turned up to inspect our property did not match the photograph on the CV.

The report was prepared by the other structural engineer whose CV we received but he never visited our property.

Why is this happening?
