Customers say: Quality work

"Sharmila came recommended to us when we were ready to design and build a large cabana in our back yard. We met and let her know some of the ideas we had in mind. Sharmila has done similar projects in the past and was a wealth of knowledge in every step of the way, from the design to the amenities. Sharmila handled the drawing of the structural plan, application for permit, submitting plan to the city, etc. Throughout she was always on time and kept us updated on where we were in the process, very thorough. Sharmila is a true professional that was a pleasure to work with, we could not be happier with her and the design of our cabana."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support

Provides expert analysis, ensuring safety and compliance with building codes.
