Engikeering provides excellent structural engineering solutions. Engikeering will provide a licensed structural engineer to deliver an accurate assessment of the potential concern and create structural solutions. If you are removing walls, adding openings in walls, adding living space, placing an additional story on a structure or other actions that may impact the structural components of an existing building, it is advisable to utilize a structural engineer to understand the full impact of the renovation. Engikeering will provide full structural design and detailing for new structures, to completely and economically meet all of the applicable building code requirements. Engikeering can help identify the cause, assess the severity of the situation, and provide any needed design to remediate the areas of concern: Foundation cracks, interior cracking and/or framing movement, natural disaster damage, sagging floors or bowing walls, rot and/or insect deterioration, undersized, strained or damaged elements, roof failure or building collapse.

"Beware of this company. I had Jonathan come out to provide me with a verbal report on the condition of some termite damage in my basement. With each visit, he wanted more drywall removed and exacerbated the perceived severity of the situation. I soon realized that he was more problem focused than solutions oriented. I decided that I would prefer to look elsewhere for services to mitigate my issue, and effectively terminated our contract. Jonathan, without my knowledge and with what I perceive to be malicious intent, then sent his partially complete report to the Village reporting my property. Half the report was guesswork as to the extent of the damage as they were about areas that he was not even able to visually inspect. The village, after reading the report, became spooked and are asking for more than I and my professionals agree is necessary to mitigate the safety risk. Needless to say, I will never again use his services and I strongly advise that others be wary as well."
