"They responded quickly to our initial call out and we were very impressed with how well they made the damage safe and weather proof. They were extremely helpful and efficient. We did not hesitate to use them as our contractors once the quotes had been excepted. Lee Ricky, the owner of the company, made us feel completely at ease explaining to us what needed to be done, how and when. He is extremely polite, knowledgeable and considerate. After having a structural survey, Lee explained how his contractors would fix the damage and gave us a realistic and flexible timeframe. Lee arranged for his expert contractors to complete each task as suggested by the structural survey. After important work was completed the work was inspected and anything missed or in need of further work was done before the next stage started. We had different people for roofing, brick work, electrics, painting etc., each and everyone we were pleased with, I am sure that they wouldn't be working for Lee if he wasn't 100% happy with them.. As with most building work there were some unforeseen problems - e.g. more rubble in the roof than expected! The contractors delt with problems as they occurred. The finished work is better than what we had to start with! We were extremely impressed with the brick work - every effort was made to match it with our existing brick.The work is complete and we are very happy with it. Lee Ricky and his team of "merry men" have done a wonderful job. The company Potter House Group can handle anything to do with building I'm sure.....................

"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"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

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.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

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

The average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge a flat rate, by the project, by square footage, or an hourly rate, which is typically between $100 and $250. Many jobs, such as inspections and structural calculations, are billed at a flat rate, which often falls between $300 and $800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the project's type, scope, size, complexity, ease of access for inspection, and your geographic location.
