"The best engineering company I’ve ever worked with, without question. They have completed both civil and structural design services for me on several projects, and every single one has been handled with a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and technical expertise. Their team brings a tremendous amount of real world experience to the table and it shows in the quality of their work and the practicality of their solutions. They are responsive, easy to work with, and always willing to take the time to explain things clearly and work through challenges as they come up. Mr. Marques Hall is an outstanding engineer and a true professional. His knowledge, responsiveness, and problem solving ability have made a big difference on multiple projects. I will absolutely continue to use them for future projects and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high quality civil and structural engineering services."

"Mr. Crockett engineered a house for me in Slidell, Louisiana: 1600 sqft and raised 10' off the ground in a coastal flood zone. He seemed to be the only local engineer who could be bothered with such a small project. His plans passed St. Tammany inspection. My only issue with him was related to our communication during the revision process of the plans. Ultimately he provided everything I wanted. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him."

"I had an excellent experience working with Tejada Studio. From start to finish, Carlos was professional, highly detailed, and incredibly polite. Communication was clear, open, and consistent throughout the entire process, which made everything smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was how involved Carlos kept me every step of the way. He made sure my input was heard and that I fully understood each phase of the project. Carlos' attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction truly sets Tejada Studio apart from the competition. I would highly recommend Tejada Studio to anyone in need of accurate, high-quality scale drawings."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.

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.

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. 

Precast concrete can be reinforced with rebar, wire mesh, or other materials to improve its strength and add stability. Precast concrete for large construction projects is often pre-stressed as well for greater structural strength. Reinforced concrete is durable and strong, making it an ideal choice for many construction projects.

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