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. There 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. There 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.

"Robert was thorough and knowledgable. Very helpful! We would definitely call on him again. A great guy and a great job!"

Structural design for residential and commercial. New , renovation, addition and underpinning. Licensed professional Engineer in DC, MD and VA We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality and customer service that we provide to meet every consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent customer service from start to completion of a project. To understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a personal and professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Working with Zign Consulting has been the bright spot in an otherwise complex construction project. From the beginning, Zign Consulting was everything you hope for: honest, direct, highly capable, and urgent. After months of delays and complications caused by a previous architect, Zign Consulting stepped in and immediately brought clarity and direction. They swiftly got our plans completed and approved by DCRA—something the original architect struggled with for nearly a year. Their communication was transparent, their timelines were accurate, and their professionalism was unmatched. If you're looking for an architectural consultant who will advocate for your project and get things done the right way, Zign Consulting is the firm to hire. I can't recommend them enough."

"I highly and without hesitation recommend Alan Stevens for any construction job. He saved a horribly-botched major kitchen renovation project for us. Not only did he do it for a fair price given the amount of work that needed to be redone, repaired and completed, but his level of professionalism and integrity was nothing short of astonishing. He went far above and beyond to ensure that we were happy. He did things that other contractors would have charged extra for and even cleaned (literally mopped our floors several times throughout the course of the renovation). When he encountered a problem, he did not just tell us about it, but provided realistic solutions. Every day started and ended with status updates to make sure that we always knew what was happening and when. He brought in the best-of-the best professionals to handle specialty and intricate parts of the job in order to ensure that they were done correctly. His attention to detail was amazing and he did not hesitate to redo anything that he deemed to have been done less than perfect. In addition to the superb quality of work, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He treated us as partners throughout the project and always made sure to ask our opinions and to get our input on design elements. Anyone who has done a major construction project knows how difficult it can be, but Alan could not have made it easier us. I would challenge anyone to find a better and more honest contractor than Alan Stevens."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.
