How do you choose a residential structural engineer?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Do you have experience working in my specific area?</p></li><li><p>Do you have professional indemnity insurance?</p></li><li><p>What will your structural report cover?</p></li><li><p>Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?</p></li><li><p>How long have you been in business?</p></li><li><p>Do you have a list of customer references?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Do monolithic slabs have footers?

• <div><p>All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.</p></div>

Q: Are beams and joists the same?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How much does a structural engineer cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-structural-engineer-cost.htm">Structural engineers typically charge</a> between <b>$100 and $250</b> <b>per hour</b>, but many jobs won&rsquo;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 <b>$550</b>, but you could see prices ranging from <b>$300 to $800</b>, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.</p></div>

Q: Is a pier and beam the same as a crawl space?

• <div><p>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 &ldquo;crawl space foundations,&rdquo; but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. </p></div>

Scott, the owner is incredibly honest, his team shows on time as expected, and his pricing is very fair. The quality of their work is excellent. I've already hired them to frame and install some new windows as well. Oh, and did I mention that they show when they say they will!

Paid to have the cause of a specific problem identified only to get the same “I don’t know but maybe” answer the the initial home inspector gave. I just wasted my money on a second home inspection instead of an engineer’s professional opinion.
