Welcome to Scapular Engineering Firm! My name is Jacob Bullinger and I am a registered P.E. in the state of Missouri, with the certificate of authority from the state to stamp drawings. While great service is always top priority, I am also able to give the best value to my customers since I work for myself and don’t have overhead charges like other firms. I have experience in all types of home structural needs, from gaining permits for additions to retaining wall questions to advising the correct way to take down a load bearing wall. I truly enjoy doing this work and look forward to my customers’ satisfaction when their dream project is completed. Thank you for visiting and I hope we can do business together! Have a great day, Jacob Bullinger

"Mr. Jacob Bullinger was extremely accommodating, professional and efficient. He went the extra mile to assure that our structural engineer's report was completed in a timely manner. He was also very affordable, which was a plus for sure! I recommend him wholeheartedly!! If I ever need this type of report again in the future, I will definitely be calling him!!! "

"Absolutely terrible. They drove our stuff across the country for us and then left it in a storage facility somewhere far from our house. Had to take a U-Haul over to get our stuff. Do not hire these people."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

It’s possible to drill into an LVL beam, but you should always avoid it. LVL beams are major structural components of your home, and drilling into them can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you need to drill into an LVL beam, consult a structural engineer. They’ll know the bit size, depth, and directionality that’s safe to use when drilling.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)
