"Tony showed up five minutes early and I immediately started throwing my perception of contractors out of the window. Tony took me through every aspect of the house giving me ideas of what I should do, what I shouldn't do, costs of each project and how to save money throughout the process. You know when you're buying a product and the salesmen is going to answer every one of your questions in the way that will cause you to spend more money?? I didn't get that perception at all with Tony. He was honest, even if it could possibly be a detriment to gaining him business. He went over his credentials, experiences and history with older houses. I explained to him how safety in regards to possible lead paint and asbestos were my priority as I will be living in the house and he outlined everything he would do if it was his own personal residence. The thing I like about Structures By Design (and they should use this in their marketing) is that they really make you feel, and judging by their reviews, they actually do, treat any project as if they were doing it to their own homes.
Reasons why I will choose Tony first for all work:
-He has a ton of expierence in the Buena Vista area with these older houses, I don't think there is anyone more qualified around here in regards to working with homes built in this part of the state.
-He is the ONLY contractor I've encountered that doesn't answer questions you ask for their benefit, that honesty is unprecedented in this type of business.
-Judging from the quality of their work on the internet, Angies List and articles I've read, their work is all about quality with price effectiveness thrown in there. Long story short, it sounds like you get a lot of BANG for your buck.
I highly encourage anyone that needs some type of renovation done to their home to consult Tony before making any decisions, but that's just if you want it done right.

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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
