"Could not have gone better !!! Really. Luis initially provided design ideas. Luis knocked out a full set of Plans in record time. Then, throughout the construction project, Luis identified qualified subcontractors who actually show up when they say they will show up. Luis provided construction supervision services to assure the subcontractors provided quality products and quality services. There are lots of architects capable of using software to create mundane plans. Luis, has a Master's Degree in Architecture and it shows. Luis' background includes supervising the work of other architects and identifying their mistakes. Luis is at heart an artist, with the skill set of a world renown architect. He has actually built homes and knows how to value engineer to keep costs within a budget. This company is so impressive, I already hired them for a second project - the renovation of an old home for a flip. You get what you pay for. Any architect can hand a set of plans to a client and wish the client good luck. Luis is there to hold the client's hand, and save the client money, from the conceptual beginnings, until the final permit and punch list are completed."

"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."

"Absolutely professional. Great customer service. Nicolas was excellent at getting the measurements, getting the drawings completed, and getting the results back to me in perfect timing. I highly recommend if you need an engineer, contact RES!! Nicolas even went above and beyond when the city planning and development department threw some loops into the permitting, by contacting them and getting the results they needed quickly. Best engineer service I ever had and will use!!! Thanks to nicolas' team for getting the job done!!!!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.

All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

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.
