Structural building engineering includes all structural engineering related to the design of buildings. The architect is usually the lead designer on buildings, with a structural engineer employed as a sub-consultant with the final say on his design of the type of structure to be used to build. The structural design for a building must ensure that the building is able to stand up safely, able to function without excessive deflections or movements that cause fatigue of structural elements, cracking, or failure of fixtures, fittings, or partitions. It must account for movements and forces due to temperature, creep, cracking, and imposed dead and live loads.
It must also ensure that the design is buildable within acceptable manufacturing tolerances of the building materials to be used. This engineering begins at the foundation and continues to the roof structure on all building of houses.
