"Mr. Ohi came to our home to inspect the foundation and support walls prior to us doing home renovation work. He did a thorough visual inspection and level measurements and located some small issues, but, thankfully, recommended that no foundation work be done. Mr. Ohi was pleasant to be with and knowledgeable about residential support structures."

"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!"

"We needed some advice on a structural engineering concern arising during a kitchen renovation and we needed it fast and simple to understand. Azzam was able to come to our house fairly quickly and provide both a diagnosis of the problem and some some reasonable solution options that were practical and doable. He was able to simply answer all my questions in a way that a non structural engineer could understand. I highly recommend Triple J Consulting"

"We tasked Gary with a very quick turn around on a project involving a total renovation of an existing structure as well as an addition. We had a very tight time constraint and Gary was able to accommodate us, utilizing his expertise to help us make thoughtful changes to our original design and educating us on Maryland code where needed! His final product is beautiful and it was exciting to see the “after” Reno elevations! I would use him again without a second thought and recommend him to my friends. Kelly Z."

"Todd has been a pleasure to work with. We asked him for help in designing plans for a renovation for our 1960s home. The existing home had a one-car garage, and we wanted to expand that to a two-car garage and add an extra room for a second work-from home office, as both my husband and myself work remotely. After reviewing our lotâ s survey, it was discovered that we were too close to the property line to expand the current garage, which necessitated putting the new garage on the other side of the house. This added another layer of complexity to the project, as we now needed to incorporate the existing single-car garage space into our home as usable living area. Todd listened to our ideas for repurposing the space, and provided good recommendations of his own. As others have mentioned, he worked well with our builder and quickly answered questions from the county permit office, expediting the permit approval process. We would have no hesitation in using Todd for our next 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

Combining structural engineering with upgrades like basement waterproofing or energy-efficient window installation in Gaithersburg can streamline your project and reduce disruptions. Coordinating these improvements allows for shared inspections and more efficient contractor scheduling. This approach is especially effective in spring or fall, when weather is milder and permit processing tends to move faster, helping you avoid unnecessary project downtime.

Helpful?

To keep your Gaithersburg home safe during structural work, schedule major repairs when children are at school or away. Secure basement and crawl space access, since these are frequent work zones. Use dust barriers and air purifiers to minimize allergens, and store tools and materials out of reach. Setting up temporary fencing or gates helps protect both kids and pets from entering hazardous areas.

Helpful?

In Gaithersburg, unexpected costs may arise from additional permit requirements, last-minute plan changes, or extra inspections due to local regulations. Issues like discovering hidden water damage, unmarked utility lines, or the need for mold or asbestos remediation can increase expenses. Weather-related delays and limited equipment access on older properties are also common, so it’s smart to budget for unforeseen repairs and restoration needs.

Helpful?

In Gaithersburg, schedule a structural engineering assessment if you notice stair-step foundation cracks, uneven floors, or doors and windows that suddenly stick. These issues often result from shifting clay soils and seasonal moisture changes. It’s also wise to book an inspection before major remodels or after heavy rainfall. Early summer is ideal, helping you avoid delays from permit backlogs and unpredictable weather.

Helpful?

When hiring a structural engineer in Gaithersburg, prioritize professionals with experience handling local soil movement and knowledge of area-specific building codes. Ask about their familiarity with regional home designs and check for recent project references nearby. Confirm they carry proper insurance and understand the city’s permitting process, as this ensures smoother coordination and helps prevent project delays or compliance issues.
