Most structural design engineers work on a traditional brick and mortar business transaction where they rely on face-to-face operations with all the complementary physical documents attached. However, with the advent of fast and effective communications especially through the internet, many businesses and services have been given broader opportunities. Skills and proficiencies in different areas and fields of concentration can now be outsourced anywhere in the world especially in the Philippines where English is the second language. For example, a licensed civil engineer living in Cebu City or Manila can work online to accomplish tasks from foreign clients. With all the effects of communications, structural design engineering also receives great viability for outsourcing. Thus, the competition in structural designing becomes global and skills need to be redefined in order to equal this competition.

Structural Engineering services that includes:
• commercial structures
• residential structures
• special structures
And structural Design services that also includes:
• Estimating
• Structural Drafting and Detailing
• Structural designing
with the use of these softwares:
With all these services that a structural designer or engineer can offer, one must still ensure that all designs satisfy the client guidelines, design criteria, safety measures, serviceability, and performance with the ultimate goal to guarantee that buildings can withstand massive loads as well as changing climates and natural disasters.
Having all the skills and proficiency both in creating physical documents up to different software usage, a structural design engineer or even a freelance structural design engineer must see to it that all designs pass local, foreign, and international engineering standards.
