"I had an urgent request to get a permit across the line and Pedro was on his A-game and helped me within hours. Very professional, well documented, etc. Other structural engineers I hired only gave me headaches. I'd use Pedro again any day. Thank you very much, and glad to be in business with you!"

"Mr. Castillo-Navia fulfilled all items in our wish list and designed a practical and beautiful home for our family! I hope this is our forever home but my wife and I would definitely look him up again if we need a different house when we eventually become empty nesters. He is professional and detail-oriented. CASNA Design even covered the structural engineering process. He answered immediately, is knowledgeable and passionate about his work, transparent in pricing, answered all of our questions and is very punctual. Mr. Castillo-Navia took the time to listen to what we wanted and made sure to incorporate that into our designs. We had the best experience. He was friendly, professional and we love the design he came up with. From the initial meeting to the final meeting everything went smoothly. He is very knowledgeable and a great listener. He also made himself available for follow-up questions from potential contractors and helped us compare bids. Working with CASNA Design was money well spent and we highly recommend him."

"Tim was very professional, he was prompt in responding to messages. He showed up on the time for structural inspection and did thorough inspection. I highly recommend him considering my earlier experiences with other structural engineers, how they carry out their inspections and never give any definitive answers."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In Charlotte, be wary of professionals who downplay the importance of soil testing or fail to address the challenges posed by the area’s clay soil. Quotes that skip over the need for permits, lack clear details about structural assessments, or avoid discussing compliance with Charlotte building codes are concerning. Reliable experts should provide transparent contracts and demonstrate experience with local foundation and drainage conditions.

Helpful?

Charlotte homeowners should routinely inspect their foundations for new cracks or uneven settling, especially after heavy rainfall or drought. Ensure that downspouts and grading direct water away from your home to counteract the effects of clay soil expansion. Regularly check crawl spaces and basements for moisture or shifting support beams, and schedule periodic structural assessments to catch issues unique to Charlotte’s climate and soil.

Helpful?

If your Charlotte home shows signs like stair-step cracks in brickwork, sloping floors, or sticking doors and windows, it may need a structural assessment. Properties in older neighborhoods or near creeks are especially prone to foundation movement. Homes with persistent moisture in crawl spaces or plans for major renovations—such as removing load-bearing walls—are strong candidates for professional structural engineering evaluation.

Helpful?

In Charlotte, structural engineering projects typically range from a couple of weeks for structural assessments to several months for major renovations. The city’s permitting process, especially for projects involving load-bearing walls or foundation repairs, can add time. Seasonal rainstorms may also delay work, particularly when soil testing or excavation is involved. Local inspector availability and required documentation can further influence your project’s timeline.

Helpful?

In Charlotte, homeowners often misjudge the impact of the region’s expansive clay soil, which can cause foundation movement if not properly addressed. Overlooking the need for structural assessments before altering load-bearing walls is another frequent error. Failing to secure proper permits or ignoring local floodplain requirements can also lead to costly setbacks. Engaging a local structural engineer early helps prevent these Charlotte-specific issues.
