Structural Engineer in Inverness

Hi there,

I am looking for a structural engineer to do some ground investigation, structural designs and provide an SER certificate for a small boathouse/ studio near Inverness. I already have architects' drawings and we have applied for planning. Any recommendations?

Many thanks,

Graham
