"Kamran dd a fantastic job. He reached out to me quickly and had his associate come by to look at the walls I was removing. I received an estimate for the work. Kamran worked extra long on the project to help me utilize the beams that I had pre purchased. I would recommend anyone who need a professional engineer recommendation to use OHI engineering"

"Having major remodel on lower level. Contractor tried to rope me into major work (and project delay) suggesting normal cracks on cinder block walls indicated a foundation issue. When I pushed back, he put project on hold stating I needed a structural engineer to certify. I called the first two people on home advisor locally and Omid got back to me in 2-3 min, was at my house within an hour and delivered a certified report within 3-4 hours. He listened to the situation and spoke with my contractor to hear his assessment before beginning his assessment measures. He directly pushed back on what contractor stated and provided simple solution for one crack that was more than hairline. Report was meticulous, he spoke with contractor directly, and saved this project. It was more affordable than what was suggested on average costs. While I couldn’t divorce from the unethical contractor mid project—I would have been stuck with no out without the work of Omid!"

"I had a great experience working with A & A Structures LLC for the structural engineering work on my home renovation in Bethesda. They were easy to work with, extremely fast, and delivered permit-ready documents that were clearly tailored for Montgomery County DPS—right down to the correct file naming conventions, which matters more than people realize. When the county requested minor revisions, A&A responded immediately, made the updates without hesitation, and even worked directly with my developer to clarify requirements. All of this was handled under the original fee, which I felt was an excellent value. Professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with Montgomery County’s approval process—I would absolutely recommend them and would use them again without hesitation."

"Bashir and Noorullah were a pleasure to work with. They were very detailed, providing a full set of plans to have a load-bearing wall removed in my home. Bashir was attentive and he and Noorullah answered all my questions. I would have no problem providing a strong recommendation for Structurist for any structural engineering needs especially when it comes to your home."

"We have been working with Todd Willoughby since early in 2018. We had purchased a piece of land along the Chesapeake Bay and wanted to build a small but thoughtfully designed contemporary garden cottage for our retirement. After speaking with a number of architects we chose Todd and we have been very happy with that decision. Over several months, we worked have closely with him through the several design phases, culminating in a very complete set of construction documents, that we are now using for bidding. Throughout the process, we have found Todd to be personable, smart, perceptive and creative. He has been able to translate our ideas into working drawings that one of the contractors noted was called the most detailed he has ever seen. Todd has captured our vision for an environmentally friendly house with solar and rainwater harvesting. We have met with him many times talk through the many details, choices, and constraints you inevitably face. He has done all the coordination needed with the other specialties the engineers, surveyor, and solar energy firm. Having enjoyed this first part of the collaboration, we are hiring Todd to help us through the bid evaluations and construction admin phases. The best recommendation would be our actual house, but until we get there we can say Todd has done an excellent and professional job getting us this far, and we look forward to working with him through to a completed project."

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Homes in Bethesda, especially those built mid-century or earlier, often benefit from structural engineering if you notice issues like uneven floors, wall cracks, or sticking doors. Stone or concrete foundations common in the area may need reinforcement. If you’re planning a home addition or basement finishing, assessing your lot size and local zoning is crucial, as some Bethesda neighborhoods have strict expansion limits.

Helpful?

In Bethesda, hidden costs during structural engineering can include addressing difficult soil conditions, unexpected rock removal, or rerouting plumbing and electrical lines. Older homes may require specialized remediation for materials like asbestos or lead. Additional inspection fees and HVAC adjustments are common, especially with foundation repair or basement finishing. If your project involves an addition, changes to parking or landscaping may also add to your budget.

Helpful?

Before starting structural engineering in Bethesda, review local permit requirements and check if your property is in a historic district, as this can affect approvals. Arrange for underground utility checks and consider a soil assessment, especially if your home is on a slope or near water. If you belong to an HOA, secure their approval early. Hiring professionals familiar with Bethesda’s building codes helps prevent project setbacks.

Helpful?

In Bethesda, permit approvals typically take several weeks, and small projects like wall removal are often completed within a few weeks. Larger projects, such as foundation repair or home additions, can extend over several months. Historic district reviews, weather conditions, and contractor availability can all impact your timeline. Planning ahead and coordinating multiple upgrades can help keep your renovation on schedule.

Helpful?

Combining structural engineering with upgrades like basement finishing or foundation repair in Bethesda can streamline your renovation. Coordinating permits and scheduling related projects together often reduces downtime and helps avoid repeated disruptions. Local contractors may prioritize bundled projects, making it easier to secure skilled teams. This approach also minimizes the risk of conflicting work and ensures your home renovation progresses efficiently from start to finish.
