"C&C is a waste of corruption and nonsense. Hawaii needs to get rid of the entire corrupt government officials. Fair and Equitable taxation is nowhere in Hawaii. Simple arithmetic will genuinely show how corrupt Property Assessment is where those who own less pay higher taxes per square foot than those who live in luxury."

"Highly Recommend! I’m a builder, but I didn’t fully understand all the requirements for my home addition projects. Thankfully, I found Jin and he made everything so much easier. They helped with all the permitting for the garage port, front porch, and fence, navigating the tricky city rules I wasn’t familiar with. Jin made it so much easier. He created the plans required for permitting and handled all the paperwork and tricky regulations, while always kept us in the loop. What could’ve been a stressful process ended up being pretty smooth thanks to their expertise. We’re really happy with how everything turned out, and I’m so glad we had them in our corner. If you need help with an architect Jin will help you out!"

"Carlos was very professional when he came to do the site visit. We went over details over my small project. He submitted his proposal the next day. Only reason I didn t select him was his price was almost triple the amount of the other five proposals I received, for the same work. Now only time will tell if it was the correct decision, but based on how small my job is, I felt it wasn t worth the price proposed. I think his price is more for commercial projects. Good luck!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Structural engineers are necessary for projects involving alterations to load-bearing structures, foundation work, and compliance with safety standards. This includes home expansions, retaining walls, and significant repairs that impact a property's integrity.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

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.

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.
