"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."

"I just hired this company, haven't started the project yet, but for those whom came to give an estimation i was truly disappointed! Raul, came here took the time to check areas looking for soft spots in the floor, gave suggestions and solutions, and best and worst case scenarios. He had great ideals, gave me options and made me feel secure in knowing what his was doing and what and how they would proceed! That in itself speaks volumes! Others on here whom came were lazy, not looking or have a clue what kind of work was needed, yet spit out an estimate that made me laugh!! I will out of kindness not reveal their name! I will give more reviews as the project gets underway and done. I'll also post before and after photos!"

"I was very impressed with the quality and the timeliness of Doyle MoneyTree?s work. He was very patient as there was a lot of back-and-forth with changing design, materials, etc and he was understanding when it came to waiting for review before moving forward with each milestone. Would gladly work with him again if a similar project presents itself in the future!"

Structural Engineering FAQs, answered by experts

Most structural engineers offer free quotes, regardless of the size of the job. For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.

The average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge a flat rate, by the project, by square footage, or an hourly rate, which is typically between $100 and $250. Many jobs, such as inspections and structural calculations, are billed at a flat rate, which often falls between $300 and $800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the project's type, scope, size, complexity, ease of access for inspection, and your geographic location.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

Absolutely, as it ensures designs are viable and won’t compromise structural integrity.
