Depends what you are doing and do you trust the figures used to get the result?

Its not just the beans, can you assess the loads and design connections etc?

The good thing about using a proper structural engineer, is you have all the calculations for anyone that wants, basic drawings as required, piece of mind, and also covered by their professional indemnity insurance.
