Structural design is the method used to determine the stability, strength, and stiffness of structures and to ensure that the designed structure will be strong enough to support its intended load without failure during its intended life. The objective of a structure is to support or transmit the loads to the ground if the structure is poorly designed or manufactured in the case of steel structures, the structure will probably not have serious consequences.

Building a home is a lifelong dream for many of us. Building your home without proper load calculations can end in disaster (example image on the right side). Most contractors assume the size of the column, the depth of the foundation, and the details of the reinforcement that could result in a disaster. Also, if you plan to build an additional floor in the future, you may need the structural design to proceed safely. When you build a house for Rs. 30 - 40 lakhs, the structural design can cost only Rs. 15-20 thousand. Neglecting it will put your entire investment at risk. A structural consultant is the one you need to avoid these types of situations.
