"Marc did a great job on our garage expansion project! He was friendly and professional, taking all of our ideas and criteria and combining them into a great layout. The drawings themselves look great. We are still shopping the plans around to contractors, and Marc is always helpful with advice or ways to reduce cost. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an architect."

Customers say: Quick response

"Susan was hired to produce drawings/plans for stairs in order to obtain a permit. She is professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Susan guided me through the whole permitting process. She really listens and answered all my questions. I don't know what I would have done without her. Susan cares about the project as much as you do. Without hesitation, I would hire her again."

Customers say: True professional

"We hired Trudy to convert our three-flat into a two-flat — a complex project — and she knocked it out of the park. Her design was outstanding, her knowledge of city codes and permitting was spot-on, and she coordinated seamlessly with our GC. She even worked with structural engineer to make our third floor work. Always kind, always available, and truly a master of her craft. She’s become a good firend as well. Highly recommend!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Yes, professionals reinforce the foundation with additional supports or piers to prevent future sinking.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.
