Structural engineers check that buildings will stand up. For homeowners and builders, that often means calculations for a wall removal, a beam for a loft conversion, or a report after cracks appear. Fees are usually fixed per job or charged for a site visit and report, and small practices often wait weeks for invoices to be paid. A payments app that makes fees simple to collect can win engineers, and every homeowner and builder who pays them sees your app.

Take payment when the visit is booked
A link sent when the site visit is booked lets the client pay the fee or a deposit straight away, so the engineer isn't chasing it later.

Get paid when the report is sent
A link sent with the calculations or report lets the client pay the balance by card in a minute, instead of by bank transfer weeks later.
Grow through building trades
Structural engineers work alongside architects, surveyors and builders. When those businesses take payments through your app, each engineer can bring more of them onto it.
