"Working with David was seamless. He did what he said he was going to do, was on time with his work and the work was exceptional. He needed to work with an engineer to get certain specialized part of my garage to pass with the city but i got approved from the City of Sacramento for my garage rebuild on the first try ! ! I will be working with David in the future and highly recommend him."

"Gary Tracht and his crew, Candido Marin and Abelardo Portillo, spent much of the last 16 months on a massive renovation of my two-unit home on Vesta Street in San Francisco. We initially hoped the task was limited to a termite problem in a front bedroom on the second of three stories on our home so got a simple, over-the-counter permit for repairs. But the termites had gone through the siding down into the front and south sides of the house and into two bedrooms on the ground level. Worse, Covid restrictions came into place and the City tried to shut down our renovations as "non-essential." All this with a mean rain season the first year and leaks to contain. Gary, Candido, and Abelardo had to carve off the whole front off the home and the whole south side to repair the damage, and they found a weak foundation on the front half of this historic two-unit building, which had to be re-poured and placed. Gary enlisted Kevin O'Connor, Inc to do engineering plans and pull additional permits as the City evolved into a new nightmare, on-line permitting process, which Kevin learned and navigated like the pro engineer he is. The building was carved out down to the dirt, a foundation poured, and four bedrooms re-framed, hardwood floors lovingly installed, custom stucco on the front and Hardiplank siding on the south wall, stair replacement, etc. They are very good with drywall and base molding replacements. The finish on those walls is smooth and perfect. Your eyes are happy to travel over the new paint, onto the base moldings and around closets and windows trims. A renovation at this scale is complex, and included electrical permit/inspection etc. Colm at Graham Plastering was the contractor (whom my family has used three times) placing tinted stucco on the face of the building that resembles marble! We got final on time for the whole job this month. Also, this job was cost effective and so was Kevin O'Conner, Inc (whom I have put onto additional, well performed work as I am an insurance adjuster)."

"I rarely write reviews, but Result Construction deserves this shoutout. Converted my old garage into a stunning ADU that’s now the envy of my Sacramento neighborhood. The process was smooth, the team was friendly, and they actually listened to what I wanted. Plus, they finished ahead of schedule and under budget. Who does that? Result Construction does"

FAQs for structural engineering projects in Foresthill, CA

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
