Welcome to APAC Engineering, Inc. It is our goal to provide structural engineering services to the residential community. We strive to bring knowledgeable and courteous service to homeowners, real estate agents, and homebuilders. Our mission is to provide excellent engineering quickly and at a fair price. \nThere are several reasons for hiring a structural engineer to look at your home. First, you may have a crack in your foundation that you're concerned about. Next, a contractor might have proposed an expensive repair to your home stating that it was a structural issue. Finally, a home inspector might have noticed a structural defect in your home and recommended that a structural engineer look at it.\nThere are many good reasons to hire an engineer but the biggest advantage to a homeowner is that the engineer does not perform the construction work. Therefore a structural engineer does not have the conflict of interest that a contractor would have when recommending work. On the contrary, it is our goal to reduce construction costs to save you money while a contractor wants to increase construction costs to improve his bottom line.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts
It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.
A structural engineer evaluates any structural components, like floors, foundations, walls, and roofs, to ensure they can support the structure. They also consider the soil quality in your area, potentially extreme weather conditions, and proximity to bodies of water and groundwater to ensure your building can withstand any stresses placed on it by the surrounding environment. Structural engineers work on both new and existing buildings.
The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.
