"Tom at TAS Engineering was professional, friendly, helpful, patient and highly competent and efficient. He did the assessment of my attic structural issue and identified the simplest and most cost-effective solution. He ensured that my contractor did the work to his specifications and provided the certified engineering letter that all had been addressed properly. This was exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again."
"Fox engineering was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! He was able to give us clear advice as we move forward. Not only did he provide detailed information about our current foundation, he also provided information related to our interest in expanding our home. We will definitely work with them for all of our structural needs. Thank you Fox Engineering!"
"RES Engineering was awesome. I'm building a deck in my back yard and had done a ton of code research. I had the entire design planned out already and really just needed an engineer to tell me how deep I needed to make my footings. Through a simple phone call, RES consulted with me on how deep the footings should be as well as the live/snow load and soil assumptions that went into it. They didn't even charge me for their advice. I'd recommend them to anyone who needs some engineering support."
"Before getting any work done to your foundation: 1. Get a structural engineer to go out to look at your property. This is advice someone gave me. 2. Make sure that engineer is Jeremy. This is advice Iâ m passing on to you because he is amazing! Before I was told about getting a structural engineer, several people came out to look at the foundation, giving me an average quote of $20,000 though they never went under the house. Jeremy did go under the house and came out with dozens of photos. He showed, as well as told me, what was actually going on with the foundation. Later he emailed me a link to the photos and attached a summary of his observations. Heâ s polite, professional, meticulous, conscientious and knowledgeable. Heâ s very patient. Answered all of my questions. On top of that, heâ s really affordable. I donâ t often recommend people, but I highly recommend Jeremy."
"Chuck did a fantastic job, his plans were very detailed and exactly what we talked about. Through the whole process Chuck has only been a text or a call away and has come to the site through out all the construction to check on the progress. Chuck is very easy to work with and we would for sure recommend him."
"Bryan came out and was very thorough with the inspection. He was very informative and explained things well, I will definitely be using him and his business if the need ever arises. I would highly recommend him!"
Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts
Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.
Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.
Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles. Since several home styles fall under Neoclassical architects' umbrella, a range of building materials—including traditional wood framing—will make an appearance.
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.
