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).

Our firm provides structural engineering support for all phases in the design and construction process. Our primary function is to create structural plan packages for submission to the governing authority. We are also available to conduct preliminary field visits and structural observations during construction. In whichever service you need, we pride ourselves in carrying out the job professionally, quickly, and for an affordable price.

"I searched many and started off with others and nobody came close in handling what we needed. I found Richard, he came in and took care of it all; it was completed in a timely manner with his accurate thinking. He definitely thought ahead and it saved me a lot of time, grief and money. He got ahead of any issues and resolved potential problems that could arise. He knew exactly what the city would require and did what needed to be done which saved us an untold amount of time and money. I did not know him from Adam, he works at a very different level of ability and knowledge. His pricing for me was the best! He is a gem, get him if you can!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.
