"Excellent experience again with Alpha Structural. Charlie Rosenkranz came to see the 3-story apartment building in West Hollywood. We discussed what the soft story retrofit plans will likely include. He's knowledgeable and experienced. We appreciated his professional no-pressure approach and answering our questions. Alpha performed an exploratory investigation of the support structure, as architectural plans were not available. They engineered the plans with city approval. They then consulted with us and provided the approved THP (Tenant Habitability Plan) paperwork. Production Manager Dave Schlaich and Job Supervisor Seth Price met me before construction. Dave went over the approved plans and explained the work that would be performed, and the purpose. They both answered all my questions. Lawrence and Antonio were the main work team. They were very pleasant and answered all our questions. Both had great explanations with Lawrence being very detailed. Seth provided timely progress reports by phone and text. He answered all questions, and provided contacts for automatic shut-off gas valves and stucco work. Despite Covid-19, they scheduled and passed inspections, and completed the work in under a month. We've seen projects by other companies stuck in limbo for months with no progress, so we chose Alpha to avoid complications. They removed all debris, and left the property clean. The tenants and neighbors had no complaints. Daniel Aparicio also explained various issues. Communication with everyone, including the office staff, was excellent. We're very pleased with this experience."

"I called on a Friday evening and Jonathon answered. I needed a structural engineer inspection to satisfy an underwriting requirement of the lender for a house I was selling. Jonathon came out that weekend, was very pleasant and helpful and I had the letter I needed first thing Monday morning. I was quite impressed with his service and would definitely use him again."

Their design not only gave our house a stunning makeover but also made sure it is built to last. The teams professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to meeting our expectations made the entire project a breeze. I highly recommend Sam and his team for anyone in need of outstanding structural engineering services for their home renovation projects"

"Jonathan was great! He was efficient and thorough, easy to work with, and helpful at each step of my ADU project. I have never hired an architect before and Jonathan was completely open to my questions and suggestions. I never felt dumb for asking a question I was unsure of or that Jonathan wasn't taking into consideration the things I was suggesting from a design standpoint. I would say he is a customer-centric architect. He did what he said he would do when he said he would do it. He was always prompt in his responses and clear in what to expect next. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and couldn't recommend him enough for this kind of project. Thanks Jonathan!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Through detailed analysis of load paths, materials, and existing damages.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)
