"Excellent job from beginning to end. They laid down 130’ of plywood to run the skid loader from the road to the spot in the backyard. Only one small narrow rut/grass removed in the yard where the skid loader slid a board while turning the corner around the garage. I'd never ever think of complaining about that. Can't even imagine the number of trips made across those boards. 14 ton of dirt and around 4 yards of concrete was moved on those boards. Definitely impressed with over-excavating and compacting rock, great job vibrating the concrete which left very few noticeable air holes and putting on cure-n-seal when not asked. Great job on the finish and they removed the remaining plywood chips with a thatch rake leaving little to no signs they were even here."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

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.

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.

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.
