"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

"Ed is a licensed structural engineer. He did a great job both finding and explaining a situation about the house I was worried about that nobody else was able to do. But what I really appreciated was how Ed kept an open mind and talked through some of my concerns before giving me his conclusion . Very happy with his competence and professionalism."

"I wanted to do a unique project - building a silo to attach to my barn shaped house.  I sent emails to several architectural firms and most didn't even respond.  Sean however, immediately called me to discuss the project.  He is definitely a man to go "out of the box" and take on a challenge. 
I got the impression that he normally works on upscale homes and large renovations, but I can assure you, even with my small, unique project, he always made me feel like my project was the most important thing he had to work on. 
After negotiating a way more than fair price, he drove the 2 hours each way to my house on two occasions to get measurements and make sure everything was going to work correctly.  We communicated via email/phone several times and he kept me abreast of the progress on the design, allowing me to make small changes here and there.  He even produced some "what it would really look like" pictures attached to my current house, with siding and landscaping and everything.  It was amazing to see what was in my head actually become real and know it was not just some crazy idea.
Sean checked and double checked the plans, had his engineer certify them, and even contacted my local building official to make sure he was giving me everything that would be needed to get my permit. These plans are not at all like the carbon copy plans you buy already made from the internet (which my house plan was).  The detail in them is phenomenal and will get you through the toughest building inspector.  Seriously, the building commissioner could not find a single thing to question!
I loved working with Sean and know you will also.  He is very professional, takes his work seriously, will go the extra mile, but is a real person too!

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar.
