Rough foundation design cost

[Bournbrook]

Hi there. Just wondering if anyone has a ballpark figure for cost of a structural engineer to do foundation design for building regs submission? It will be a 1.5 storey TF house with 100m2 footprint. Have already had soil testing done and it just recommends 100mm strip foundations. Sandy ground. I don’t think it’s anything too technical but would just appreciate an idea of costing (and any recommendations of SEs!) so I can plan. 
 

cheers

I didn’t have to get a SE to do mine. Just dug and got it approved by LBC and my private warranty company.

If you have had the rest done and have a recommendation why do you feel you need an SE to design the foundations?  BC will be on site when you dig the first trench and advise is they are happy or not once they see what's below.

One issue is that a soak away is within 5m so I think that’s the reason. Also, to be honest, I was told that was what was required for a a full submission for building regs so I think I’ve made an assumption there

I paid 800 But that covered steels and lintels also 

Most planners will want theses also
