"Erinn was my initial contact and he gave a very through and fair estimate. We had structural work done to support floor joists and large beams under the garage that needed replacing. Ernesto and his team, Julio, Salvatore and Gilder worked tirelessly to complete the work and were respectful, punctual, informative and good humoured throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. A really great company!!"

"I hired CCD to help me permit a structure that I built (Rooftop Deck) and then had a neighbor complain about, leading to lots of trouble and compliance issues. After getting some quotes (that were often 2-3 times what I ended up paying) I found CCD. Mike told me they have never failed to permit a single unpermitted structure... and 12 months later mine is another one of their success stories. I had them draw up the plans and the city approved his blueprints without a single correction which I understand is rare in Santa Monica. I am very satisfied with everything CCD did for me & would not hesitate to hire them again."

"Our home had an outdated layout. All the different living spaces were closed off by walls. We wanted an open concept from the living room to dining room to kitchen. After interviewing several contractors, we felt that Pacificland Constructors better understood our needs and their price fit our budget.
Martin and his crew at Pacificland Constructors came in and did an outstanding job! The
first thing that they did was place up plastic ?walls? to block off the dust to the rest of
the home. They also laid down two layers of thick cardboard paper on the ground too
prevent the existing floor from being damaged. After the prep work, they quickly
removed the two non-load bearing walls. Pacificland hired an engineer to do the
structural design of the load bearing beam that would be used to support the roof and ceiling in lieu of the existing wall. A temporary wood wall was constructed to support
the existing ceiling and roof while the crew removed the existing walls. Next they
installed the structural beams, wood posts, and the metal connectors. After the beams
were set in place, the temporary wall was removed.
Once the flush ceiling beams were installed, came all the easy finishing work. The crew
moved all the existing electrical outlets and switches to adjacent walls, installed the
drywall and did the rough taping, and closed up an existing window. Pacificland
Constructors was done in 5 days and did a great job cleaning up the job site. Whenever I
had a question all I had to do was either call, text, or email him. He was very accessibly
and helped answer all my questions during the construction process. I would definitely
recommend and use him again for future projects.

"Our Architect directed us to this company for structural drawings and plans. I have to say, in the entire process of purchasing a home, coming up with architectural plans for a remodel and then translating into structural drawings, Design Everest was head and shoulders above all the parties involved. The PM (Nanak) was prompt, on top of the details and very responsive. He proactively flagged any delays and hold up in schedule and followed up with updates on status and any feedback from the city or engineer throughout the process. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, promptness and efficiency."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, unresolved damage can decrease property integrity and market value.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.
