"I was very disappointed. Their report was through, detailed and useless. It said the house had experienced normal and natural movement, and recommended putting in very expensive foundation pilings. This is certain to make it more difficult to sell, and they refused to add any mitigating discussion of whether such movement is common or the likely outcomes of actions taken or not taken. They took over 100 photographs of every flaw, problem and imperfection so nobody can ever claim they weren't thorough but they offered no engineering judgement or opinion at all. I got little more from them than I could have gotten for free from a piling salesman. It appeared they were not concerned at all about my needs as a customer, but only about covering themselves should any legal issues ever arise. The other part of this report had to to with roof construction. It stated that roof movement had occurred that was not normal, pointed out inadequacies in the framing, and recommended strengthening the construction. They still offered no engineering judgement, but this problem was at least more clear cut."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

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.
