"With concerns for hidden structural hazards in my DIY Project to install a retractable awning to a lintel beam of my lanai, I reached out for structural engineering consultation. In reply from this impressive engineering company I received invaluable insights, cautions and generic steps, of which I was previously unaware, prompting me to immediately revise my project for substantial reduction of risk of adverse outcome and unexpected and unaffordable expense in this very limited budget undertaking. I strongly recommemd learning all you can before commencing with such a project, and look first to Tensor Engineering for consultation and for their deeper participation, as needed."

"We hired Marcus at MAJ Engineering to design a new tiny home model we had in mind. He created a floorplan and a 3D animated rendering of the new model. Very impressive! He's highly recommended."

"Hire them. One of your largest and most important investments is in your home. We took on a remodel and decided to self contract. We had no idea the scope of work that was involved. NONE. We interviewed 3 architects and decided to place our trust in Mitch Powers at JBW. He was very in tune with what we were hoping to achieve and responsive to all of our questions. In the process, we have learned so much and are so thankful that we have such a skilled team on our side to help us navigate our dreams. They have defended our Architectural plans with engineering on several occasions to our subcontractors and our inspectors. Twice, our subs messed up and we had to 'fix' the problems.... the JBW team stepped right up and were with us every step of the way. We could not have came this far without them. Looking for a team with vision, that will be right with you in the trenches? choose the team that will see you thru to the finish line."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.

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 average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500.
