At the heart of our business philosophy is a desire to develop long-term partnerships with clients by delivering high-quality projects on time and within budget. This philosophy shapes our business decisions and ensures that the resource implications are fully understood for each project we commit to. We now have Consultants (our Associates) network and partner organizations, all with a lean management structure and similar values and work ethics. Therefore, we can tailor our resources to suit specific project requirements and add specialist services where required. We can work on projects of varying sizes, from the one-off inspection to multi-million dollar new builds with engineering teams scaled to suit. Our back-office support and systems allow our project engineers and our associates to focus on project delivery and build on-going relationships with clients as we all have an interest in delivering successful projects. All projects undertaken by the company will be managed by one of our consultants who will lead the civil/structural design and be the prime client contact and interface with other project team participants. We believe that clients and project developers need a degree of certainty concerning engineering scopes and costs. Where project scopes are well defined, we can provide lump-sum fees; alternatively, where scopes are less well defined, we can work on hourly rates with a maximum estimated fee value.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

Because of their composite structure, cutting or drilling LVL beams can compromise their integrity. We strongly advise contacting a general contractor or structural engineer before making any alterations to LVL beams. Professionals can also answer questions about choosing between a pier and beam versus slab foundation when designing your project.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

If your home's foundation was damaged due to shifting soil, the same problem will reoccur unless you stabilize the structure by adding posts in the bedrock.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.
