"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."
"They came out to assess any recent changes to the structural integrity of our home. They were timely, knowledgeable and thorough. They were also very helpful in communicating their initial thoughts throughout the inspection. (written report is still pending)"
"I had a very difficult (So I Thought) problem I was dealing with at one of our locations. Tony showed up and within minutes he made me feel at ease as he explained to me the problem was not as monumental as I had thought. Moving forward, RES will be the ONLY place I go to for my Structural Engineering needs!"
"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!"
"Jeremy was extremely professional and efficient and was so amazing to work with!!! He literally called me the very night that I submitted a request for an engineer. Very impressive and would absolutely hire him again or refer him to anyone who needs a structural engineer."
"Mr. Medeiros was very easy to talk to and exchange ideas. He communicated well - in person and online - and his written work was well laid out. His references were easy to get in touch with and answered all of our questions. We, in the end, went with another architect, for various small reasons. None of which were because we felt that Mr. Medeiros wouldn't provide all that we needed. It was a tough decision. If you are looking for an architect that will design your dream project thoroughly and professionally, you should take the time to meet with Mr. Medeiros."
"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!"
"From the start I knew Ryan was the right person, because he called me, the only one of the engineers that actually called me. He communicated regularly, let me know straight up the results and explained it all to me. Is also willing to answer questions from my contractor."
Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts
A structural engineer evaluates any structural components, like floors, foundations, walls, and roofs, to ensure they can support the structure. They also consider the soil quality in your area, potentially extreme weather conditions, and proximity to bodies of water and groundwater to ensure your building can withstand any stresses placed on it by the surrounding environment. Structural engineers work on both new and existing buildings.
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.
