"Working with Lex was a breeze! We hired him to design a large addition to our home which evolved as the project progressed. Under his guidance and advice, we were able to envision what we really needed, as opposed as what we thought we wanted. It was great to see our ideas turn into beautiful architectural plans, where his well crafted ideas, were well-suited to our house's style, to our taste and to the needs of our family. He was also super helpful through the building permit process. We highly recommend this remarkable architect!"

"I couldn?t be happier with the architectural rendering services I received from MAJ Engineering. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and exceeded all my expectations. The team took my vision and brought it to life with stunning detail and accuracy. Every rendering was crisp, realistic, and beautifully captured the essence of the design. What impressed me most was their responsiveness and commitment to quality. They listened closely to my ideas, made thoughtful suggestions, and delivered on time?even ahead of schedule. It's clear they take great pride in their work, and it absolutely shows in the final product. If you're looking for top-tier architectural rendering that blends creativity with technical excellence, MAJ Engineering is the team to go with. I?m beyond satisfied and will absolutely be working with them again!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.
