If your original calculations were prepared by someone unfamiliar with DM's specific expectations, a fresh independent review often catches the issue faster than repeated resubmission attempts with the same underlying error.

Rejected Structural Calculations — FAQs
Why did DM reject my structural calculations?
Common reasons include incorrect load assumptions, missing code references, formatting issues, or an engineer registration mismatch — DM's rejection comments usually specify which.
Can I resubmit with the same engineer after a rejection?
Yes, if the issue is corrected — though a second opinion can help if the same engineer missed the issue the first time.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your plot or unit details, title deed or affection plan, any existing drawings and a short description of the works — we confirm the approvals needed and prepare the submission.
Does a rejection affect my project timeline significantly?
It can if not resolved quickly — which is why diagnosing the exact issue fast is important rather than guessing at fixes.
Can Structural Solutions review calculations rejected by another engineer?
Yes — we regularly review and correct rejected calculations prepared by other consultants.
