Structural Engineer for Easement Certification
Publicada el 2026-07-28
Descripción de la oferta
I need site-specific structural details and certification from a licensed structural engineer due to easement issues affecting an existing shed on my residential property. Requirements: - Assess impact of easement on existing structure (shed). - Provide detailed structural drawings. - Certify compliance with local building codes. - Licensed in relevant jurisdiction. Ideal Skills: - Experience with residential easement issues. - Strong knowledge of local building regulations. - Proficient in structural engineering for small structures. Please include relevant experience in your bids. FURTHER INFORMATION: When we purchased our property, we were unaware of the easement compliance issues with the existing pool shed (caused by our neighbour) and the subsequent regulatory approach by ICON towards our request for a conditional approval of the existing structure (it was already in place when we purchased the property) – we have submitted two conditional approval requests with ICON Water that has become an onerous process and that ICON Water now requires the following: Any structures including pool shed & pool filter, retaining walls, roof/ eaves within the zone of influence must be structurally designed. Site specific structural detail and certification from a licensed structural engineer confirming the stability of the structure in the event of a full depth excavation of the pipe protection envelope must be submitted. What is of concern to me is that the ICON Water compliance officer is ignoring several issues - there is already a retaining wall and a fenceline within the 'zone of influence' and his continued reference to the pool filter is irrelevant as it is not a fixture and can be removed at anytime - also, the pool piping is outside the zone of influence. It is a nonsense that he can also say his measurements are 'approximate' as that is not good enough - note, when I asked ICON Water for such information they stated I would have to have that surveyed ... implying that they did not know where their own assets were laid.
