"Jeremy was great to work with and very detailed and professional with his review of my homeâ s structure as well as the report he provided. Based on his findings I did have work done on my 62 year old home foundation to hopefully insure I get another 62. Thank you Jeremy!"

Remote structural consulting is available in Delaware and North Carolina.\n\nTypical projects include load-bearing wall removal, beam and header sizing, additions, decks, foundation concerns, and framing evaluations.

"We called Legacy once again after using them in the past.  What great people they are.  We met and covered all the details, and they even offered us advice on how to do a few things we had not thought of and how to do them more economically.  That's what we have always liked about these folks.  They didn't try to sell us on anything.....they educated us and never made us feel like we were dumb.  
Even though they had done a great job for us in the past, we did shop around a little and got a few other estimates just to be sure we were going to get what we paid for.  Most of the contractors we called never called us back, and those that did call back could never seem to keep the appointment.  So, in the end we settled (once again) on Legacy.  I can honestly say that the professionalism, honesty, and care they took with our home was first rate.
We knew the job we wanted done would not be easy from a structural point of view, but after much research and input Legacy came up with a plan that not only worked, but is stunning.  The views they created for us is breathtaking.  The attention to every design detail was impeccable and the folks that worked on our job are simply artists.  
We are honored to write a review for Legacy.  We will call them time and again as our needs change.

FAQs for structural engineering projects in Advance, NC

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

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?

Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
