"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."

"Warren Barry drafted the plans for our residential assisted living facility, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He treated the project like his own ? communicative, responsive, and consistently ahead of schedule without sacrificing quality. What set Warren apart was how he engaged with our vision. He understood our goals and translated them into thoughtful, well-executed plans, while offering smart suggestions that went beyond architecture into the business side of the project. After working with him, Warren is the only architect we feel comfortable scaling our business with. As we open additional facilities, we have full confidence he can deliver the same quality and partnership at every stage. If you want an architect who is talented, dependable, and genuinely invested in your success, hire Warren. Five stars, without hesitation."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A structural engineer evaluates any structural components, like floors, foundations, walls, and roofs, to ensure they can support the structure. They also consider the soil quality in your area, potentially extreme weather conditions, and proximity to bodies of water and groundwater to ensure your building can withstand any stresses placed on it by the surrounding environment. Structural engineers work on both new and existing buildings.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

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.

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.
