"I scheduled an appointment through Home Adviser, and Lawrence contacted me within five minutes, and we discussed my needs. We agreed on a time and date that was convenient and a reasonable price for the work. He arrived as scheduled to my residence. Lawrence is very courteous and knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns and was not in a rush. Lawrence thoroughly inspected the area and offered a solution that fit my needs. He explained his findings and how he would complete a report within 24 hours. He sent my report early the next day. I would highly recommend Lawrence if you are looking for an experienced structural engineer who has excellent interpersonal skills and delivers on his promise."

"I was really under the gun due to a prior Architectural firm not performing their duties per building plan codes. Not only were the plans incomplete but the City Plan Reviewer states(The Worst plans he’s ever seen) they will not make adjustments unless there is an additional charge for Thousands. Evaluation’s saved my clients and drew our project per code, along with Engineering in less time then they quoted. I highly recommended them, Especially Kirsten. You went above and beyond trying to coordinate this project. The staff was very professional and I will use them on all my projects. Sincerely, Frank B BCM Builders"

We utilize leading edge software to help our clients visualize their plans in a way that allows them to clearly communicate their wants and needs during the design process. Our clients can make decisions on ALL aspects of the home or commercial space through a virtual perspective instead of just lines on paper.\n\n\n\nOur process allows full client interaction which saves time, money and frustrations later in the field. Change orders are reduced, completion dates are hit more often and you get to "walk" though your space before it's built.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

No, squeaky floors do not always mean there is structural damage. The noise is often caused by friction from issues like loose floorboards, gaps between the subfloor and joists, or loose subflooring. While many squeaks are harmless, persistent or worsening noise could indicate a more severe problem. If you notice other signs of structural damage—such as soft or sagging floors, cracks running from the wall to the ceiling, or horizontal cracks in your foundation—it's best to have a professional inspect your floor to determine the root cause.
