"I had an issue with my inground pool floating after a week of heavy rain. Cyrus contacted me quickly and set up an appointment to inspect my pool the very next day. Cyrus was extremely professional and explain everything in layman terms. I highly recommend Cyrus if you are looking for a well qualified structural engineer. Thank you Cyrus!"

"Tony was able to perform an analysis and recommendation in about 20 minutes. After scheduling the date of the visit, he kept in contact to let me know exactly when he would arrive. He was thorough, surveying the structure from the attic to the foundation. He was able to accept my Visa card on site. The charge was under $400, but typically one may find competitors charging a bit more. A report was emailed the following day."

I am a licensed Professional Engineer providing structural engineering services for residential and small commercial projects. I work with homeowners, contractors, and design professionals to help move projects through the permit process by providing structural calculations, drawings, evaluations, and engineering letters as needed.\n\nIn-person structural inspections are available in Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. Remote structural consulting is available in Delaware and North Carolina.\n\nTypical projects include load-bearing wall removal, beam and header sizing, additions, decks, foundation concerns, and framing evaluations. My goal is to provide practical, code-compliant structural solutions that are clear, efficient, and tailored to the project.

"I hired Peter to provide an overall structural assessment of my house and to offer his professional advice on a few issues that came up during the initial home inspection. Peter was very responsive and was able to come out much sooner than he had originally anticipated. During the assessment I found Peter to be both congenial and professional. He clearly had the in-depth knowledge of older Baltimore homes that I had been seeking and was able to succinctly explain various aspects of the house in a relatively short period of time. I would not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him for the type of service he provided to me."

FAQs for structural engineering projects in Cape Saint Claire, MD

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

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.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.

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.
