"KATZ DESIGN & BUILDERS 10313 Los Alamitos Blvd, Los Alamitos, ca 90720 Rating 1 * for a WRITTEN and SIGNED contract of $13,000, the bill changed to $14,835. Stay away from KATZ DESIGN & BUILDERS in LOS ALAMITOS. I would give it a zero star if that was an option. Most dishonest company we have ever hired. Our kids’ house needed to have a fire pit filled in. KATZ sent an employee named VAL in person to discuss of the work that needed to be done. VAL wrote a contract which we agreed upon, of the amount of $13,000. Mid way through the project, VAL sounded very upset and told us that he must charge us $1,835 more if we want the job finished. Val then gave us a new invoice, a total of $14,835. We were 7 hrs away on a car trip. VAL actually asked us to leave him a positive 5* rating, after jacking the cost of the job up considerably. Furthermore, one worker brought while working at the site. We got back the next day, contacted the KATZ office and spoke to CHERYL who acted completely surprised that VAL has given us a contract with the extra charge. CHERYL indicated that she would talk to the PRESIDENT and VAL to straighten everything out. We then received a PDF file, written by the PRESIDENT and VAL , indicating that our kids’ house would have a MECHANIC’S LIEN placed on it we did not acquiesce and pay the additional amount. We are retirees but for nearly 30 yrs, we too had business where we never advertised and never had to. Business came to us by word of mouth and a sterling reputation. If we were to have run our business as dishonest as KATZ DESIGN & BUILDERS appeared to have been, we would have been out of business. We heartily do NOT RECOMMEND KATZ DESIGN & BUILDERS, AS THEY ARE THE MOST DISHONEST COMPANY."

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.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. 

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.
