Free Structural Engineer Timesheet Template
Structural engineers need to track time across concept design, detailed design, calculation checking, drawing production, and site monitoring to invoice clients accurately and manage project profitability. A timesheet that records hours against specific structural elements or project phases allows fee tracking against agreed stage budgets. It also provides the documentation needed for professional indemnity purposes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I allocate time between concept design and detailed design on my timesheet?
Track each stage against the relevant RIBA stage or equivalent project phase code from the outset. This makes it possible to compare actual hours at each stage against the fee proposal and have an informed conversation with the client if a particular stage is consuming more time than anticipated.
Should I record time spent checking calculations produced by a junior engineer?
Yes. Checking is a professional obligation and a core engineering service. Record it clearly as a separate entry so the client can see that quality assurance is part of the fee, not an overhead absorbed silently. 'Independent check of RC slab design calculations, revision 2' is an appropriate description.
Can I charge for time spent responding to contractor requests for information during construction?
Yes. RFI responses during construction are a billable part of the construction support service. If your fee proposal included a fixed allowance for construction support, track RFI time carefully so you can flag to the client when that allowance is approaching its limit.
