"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."

"Dan was one of 3 engineers that I contacted for a structural change to the first floor of my residence and to the crawl space below. He was the most knowledgeable, the most reasonably priced, and promised to do the work in the most timely manner. If I could, I would give me 6 out of 5 starts for this. I read one very negative review on Angie's list along with the great reviews. I took it on myself to communicate with Dan just befor the due date for the drawings. Also, there was a small issue in one of his drawings which Dan corrected in 2 days. I can only think that the one negative review was caused by this lack of communication. An easy thing that a client can remedy for an excellent engineer."

"Lucy provided estimates, signed contracts, and completed all the work in one week. It was amazing! The new stamped-concrete patio and sidewalk are beautiful; we couldn't be happier. Our deck is larger and has a whole new look - it looks like a brand new deck! Lucy's crew got all the work done in four days, and kept us informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend her company for any home projects you are considering."

"Very impressed with the attention to detail and ensuring the leak would be fixed right the first time. Very fair priced and punctual would definitely recommend Colorado General Contracting."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Through detailed analysis of load paths, materials, and existing damages.

Structural engineers are necessary for projects involving alterations to load-bearing structures, foundation work, and compliance with safety standards. This includes home expansions, retaining walls, and significant repairs that impact a property's integrity.
