"Great Lakes Builders were amazing. They were fantastic problem solvers and partners, collaborating every step of the way with our structural engineer and us. It was apparent that completing quality work within the timeframe and estimate really mattered to them. We were even out of town for part of our project, and they zoomed with us daily to show us exactly what was being done. They were helpful in connecting us to outside contractors (dry wall, electrician, etc) so that by the time the project was completed, it was REALLY completed. They were meticulous, methodical, helpful AND friendly."

"I would (and almost certainly will) work with AGGO again! We are buying a house and something came up where we needed a structural engineer to inspect something on very short notice. I reached out though Angi's to any company that might possibly employ structural engineers and Linda, a Structural Engineer with AGGO got back to me right away, first thing in the morning and was able to squeeze us in that very night. Linda was thoughtful and thorough. She careful looked over everything and even brought a large, bright light since it was after dark. She took her time, answered all of our questions, and gave us advice on other concerns and things to watch out for as well as reassuring us about things we didn't need to worry about in this situation. Even though she was probably working past her normal work hours to squeeze us in, nothing felt rushed or hasty."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Angelo and his crew were WONDERFUL. Every promise that AP Builder / Angelo made was met and exceeded.
1. Angelo gave me a anticipated completion date for the construction job: he finished before the completion date.  I even allocated additional time in the contract in order for his company to finish the job, but he didn't need it. He kept to his schedule and his promise.
2. Angelo gave me a cost estimate: he kept his promise on cost exactly. The only additional amounts of money spent were because I modified and changed a couple of construction points.
3. Angelo assured me that I would be happy with the workmanship: his promises were exceeded. The law office building addition turned out wonderful.
4. Communication with Angelo during construction: Angelo and his office was exceedingly responsive to my questions and requests. I always knew that when I called that I would either speak with him directly, receive a punctual call back from him, and he would agree to meet me at the construction site at an agreed time.
5. Angelo exceeded all of my expectations at a very reasonable cost. His company provides top quality work for a bargain price.  As a side note, Angelo caught and fixed a structural problem before it happened. The architect had under-estimated the strength needed for a main load beam, Angelo pointed out the flaw, and we fixed the problem before it was built into the structure.  He saved me from a HUGE problem down the road (when the roof would have buckled and bent).  Angelo's decades of experience cannot be understated.
I read another review of AP Builder wherein the author suggested that this company was a bit expensive. I strongly disagree. I would suggest instead that some people may have unrealistic expectations and want to cut corners and prices when instead they should be investing in quality work. 
If Angelo will accept your job, you should seriously consider using this guy.

Customers say: Quick response

"We worked with Randolph at LA Designs to create a plan for a drainage renovations at a property that has been suffering from flooding for decades. Randolph, in conjunction with an engineer that he recommended, drafted documents that solved the property's drainage problems using economical solutions. For decades, other economical solutions at that property fell short, but Randolph's ideas got the job done and stayed within the property's budget. Randolph's documents were clear and easy to understand. Randolph was always available to answer questions in a timely fashion. When Randolph met with representatives for the property and the village, he was polite and professional. His hard work was very appreciated by the property's management, and they have already awarded him additional design opportunities. We will be recommending Randolph and LA Designs to our clients because we know that he will exceed their expectations."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.
