"Ali did an amazing g job helping me with my home remodel and addition project in Bingham Farms, MI. He helped engineer beams and columns for an Isokern Magnum fireplace, a foundation for a Soake pool, and other work. He was professional, timely, and very helpful with answering any question along the way. I would highly recommend."

If you're looking for an architectural designer who brings more than textbook knowledge to the table, you're in the right place. With over 40 years in the construction industry—as a builder, designer, and business owner—I’ve developed a deep, hands-on understanding of how homes are truly built. Every project, challenge, and collaboration has shaped how I approach design today. That experience allows me to design residential projects that go beyond the blueprint, grounded in practical insight and a lifetime of lessons learned on the job.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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?

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.
