He came out to the house, even though we are only adding 36 square feet (taking garage space to enlarge the bathroom), he treated me like it was his most important project. He answered all of my questions - I had a few being new to this. He provided all of the needed plans, specs and paperwork and for the best price (I compared 2 other firms). The plans were perfect and the city approved them while I was at the counter - in and out. After getting the plans approved, Fredy was there to answer follow up questions that my contractor had too.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
