"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

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.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.
