"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."

"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"As a contractor I have worked with many engineers over the last 8-9 years in the Denver area. Fox Engineering is without a doubt the best company I have worked with. I have probably used them on around 20 jobs to this point and they have always provided great fixes, are always on time and have great turnaround on getting drawings. Although those are all very important things when dealing with an engineer, I think the best part of working with this company is their ability to communicated clearly with customers. In my experience this is one of the hardest things when dealing with engineers. I highly recommend using this company for all of your structural engineering needs."

"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."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

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 process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

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.
