"We spoke once and I left a message and tried email and never heard from them again. It's too bad because I searched their web site further and learned that they may have been able to do structural work. They did me a favor by not returning my calls as I was able to see that they would be difficult to work with."

"Just before the pandemic enveloped us all, I had a structural engineer in place for my cottage rebuild project. Because of his older age and such an uncertain time, he decided to retire. I was on the hunt for another structural engineer. Enter Aboud of AJA Engineering. Professional, knowledgeable, responsive, personable. He helped me to design the home of my dreams. He then went above and beyond by sharing me with names of contractors that he routinely works with. I was fortunate to select one of them who did amazing job on the rebuild. Along the way with varying circumstances encountered, Aboud was there onsite to suggest, advise, guide, and lend support. He is an individual that you want on your project and I give my highest recommendation!!"

"Scott and The Curtice Group team were fantastic to work with from start to finish. The project was extensive, full bathroom remodel, removal of out dated electrical in 75% of the house, and finishing the basement to be a new living space with full bathroom, bedroom, mudroom, and laundry room, which included a new HVAC system, new plumbing, and significant structural engineering. Scott worked with me to develop an overall design and was open to ideas and questions and did a great job incorporating my wish list of ideas into the design, while providing insight and recommendations based on his years of experience. Scott developed a very detailed plan and budget and was very transparent during the entire process, communicating well when there were changes to timeline or budget. Throughout the duration of the project Scott and his team were available for my questions, provided me their recommendations, and guided me through the process. The extensive project was completed on time and in budget and the quality of craftsmanship (e.g., the design, woodwork, tile work, painting) is outstanding. I have nothing but positive experiences working with Scott and The Curtice Group and highly recommend them."

"Richard was extremely helpful providing a demonstration of his software and his approach to the process. He visited our space and took detailed measurements and put together very detailed, professional plans. We are using the plans to help us secure the proper town approvals to proceed with our project. He answered all of our questions and was incredibly responsive. I would recommend him to others - he's a great expert to work with!"

"I live in Belmont, MA and have a two car concrete garage with a large center column. I was interesting in removing the center column to make a single large opening for the garage to make it easier to get in and out with a larger car. I had already hired another structural engineer to do an inspection but their price for drawings felt kind of high. So I looked on Angi and got connected to Berdi Consulting through Pavel, who quoted me a more reasonable amount for the inspection and structural drawings for the garage door steel beam. Pavel's inspection was helpful and informative and he produced the drawings as we agreed on a reasonable timeline. and was able to put me in touch with an iron fabricator. Thanks for a job well done."

What’s special is that Perry Brothers have great follow up and works very well with condo boards . In fact, the board was so impressed with the Perry Brothers Construction that they are now employing the company for other major condo projects."

"After an unusual situation arose at my home, I was concerned about the possibility of structural damage caused by drilling and new construction at an adjacent lot. After receiving a recommendation for Veitas Engineers from a trusted source, I called and scheduled an appointment. I am so thankful that I did. I continue to be impressed with the amount of time that the two engineers spent at my house, closely inspecting the exterior and interior. Within days, I received a 16-page detailed report which included drawings, photographs, recommendations, and action items. I was so pleased when I saw that the action items were categorized as structural and non-structural, that is, that the engineers included items beyond my actual structural concerns. I used the report when working with a contractor to follow up on the recommendations and action items. The contractor was impressed with the quality, clarity, and scope of the report. I am so happy that I chose Veitas Engineers!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In Cambridge, foundations are most susceptible to issues due to clay-rich soil, high groundwater, and freeze-thaw cycles. Basements near the Charles River or Fresh Pond often face water intrusion. Roof structures, exterior porches, and load-bearing walls can deteriorate from heavy snow and age. Homes in older neighborhoods may also have undersized beams or outdated framing, increasing the need for periodic structural assessments and targeted repairs.

Helpful?

In Cambridge, cosmetic projects like adding skylights or removing interior walls focus on enhancing light and space, often requiring extra review in historic neighborhoods. Functional projects—such as stabilizing foundations or resolving water intrusion—are typically urgent and may uncover hidden structural issues. Both types must consider Cambridge’s soil conditions and older construction methods, but functional repairs demand immediate, comprehensive solutions to ensure long-term safety and stability.

Helpful?

In Cambridge, structural engineering projects carefully blend safety, modern living needs, and the city’s architectural character. Engineers often use concealed steel supports, match existing brick or woodwork, and design open layouts that respect historic moldings or window placements. Projects in areas like Avon Hill or Mid-Cambridge must also comply with local historic district guidelines, ensuring updates enhance both function and the unique visual appeal of Cambridge homes.

Helpful?

As Cambridge homes age, structural engineering priorities shift from monitoring early settling and minor cracks to addressing foundation reinforcement, roof load management, and waterproofing. Older properties, especially in neighborhoods like West Cambridge, may require seismic retrofits, repairs to original timber framing, and upgrades to outdated support systems. Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and clay-heavy soil often drive the need for more robust long-term solutions as homes mature.

Helpful?

To keep your Cambridge home safe during structural engineering work, install sturdy child and pet barriers around work zones, and request lead-safe and dust-control practices, especially in pre-1978 homes. Use HEPA filtration to minimize airborne particles. Choose design features like secure railings, non-slip surfaces, and proper stair heights. After work is complete, conduct a thorough cleaning and air quality check before allowing children and pets to re-enter.
