"Hired Pacific Sands after we lost our home in the Eaton Fires in Altadena. We were very happy with their team and the designs they finished for us. Their permitting team was amazing too, so happy they were able to help with that part of the process. too."

"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

"Our remodeling project was completed on February 2018 with cost of over 120,000. We could not have been more satisfied with the high quality of work that was accomplished by Cielo Construction. Their promise to make us feel happy and by answering all of our questions and carefully and the reaction to any of our questions, emergency, and more... Our remodeling project was big and took few months to finish, fairly priced and very involved. It involved lots of coordination between many people, such as, architects, engineers, painters, plasterers, plumbers, electricians and the list go on and on. All the remodeling work was finished professionally and flawlessly. All their Ideas that were given to us for suppliers and vendors.. were also excellent and all the materials that we got and used were top notch. Cielo Construction staff and Dylan (project manager) were able to keep the overall costs within the agreed budget. We recommend them strongly and without reservation. Pretty much on budget and on time!!!!!"

"The job went great and Pacificland Constructors was very professional. Martin E. and Martin Sr. were very responsive to phone calls and text messages through out the bidding and construction process. They replaced my cracked driveway in a short amount of time and even did some score joints at 45 degree angles for no additional cost to give my new driveway more of a wow factor."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Structural engineers are necessary for projects involving alterations to load-bearing structures, foundation work, and compliance with safety standards. This includes home expansions, retaining walls, and significant repairs that impact a property's integrity.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

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?

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar.
