"Wonderful!! Mr. Perez knows what he is doing and he is honest. He will do his best to help you without draining your bank account, and will not perform unnecessary tasks in order to collect more money. He is very thorough in his reporting and the entire process-from booking our appointment, to his visit, to receiving his report and drawings-was very quick...probably a week, at most. I highly recommend LRP Engineering, Inc. for your structural engineering needs!"

"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."

"Engineers can be weird people with difficult personalities, but not this guy Tony! He is one of the most respectable business professionals that I have ever met during my 20 years in doing real estate business. Also very energetic, from the moment that I called him...immediately he began doing things, taking a deep interest in my project before I had even hired him. His communication skills and honesty are extra-ordinary. He will return your calls and email in a better than timely manner. I also like the fact that his company is willing to work in other counties!"

"Warren was very nice to work with. He listened to our ideas and gave us different options to use for our addition. We were always informed about the progress of our project and his recommendation for an engineer was great. We would use his services again and would recommend his services to any having the need to hire an architect. Walter Dykes"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

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.

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.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.
