"I called five different companies from the Angi list before finding Colonna Consulting. When I called and I explained my situation to Nick (the owner), I immediately knew he was the one. Despite his tight schedule, he managed to fit me in on the same day. We hired Colonna and Nick to inspect our residential structural foundation. Nick responded promptly to my requests and explained everything clearly during the inspection. He completed the report within the same day. Working with him was a pleasure, and his professionalism made the process smooth and stress-free. Thank you very much Nick, for your fast response."

"Cigano identified a number of important changes to my architectural drawings to strengthen my structure (a car port). The changes recommended and implemented to my plans ensured my Town would issue a building permit. The Town had rejected my initial drawings and required its review and approval by a structural engineer or architect. Cigano really came through and its owner was easy to work with and highly professional. I would highly recommend Cigano."

"After years of working with various contractors on major home improvements, we finally found our dream team with Duane Mainardi Builders! From the moment we reached out, Duane and his crew impressed us with their honesty and clear communication. Duane was always available throughout the project, and Keith, the site foreman, was simply incredible. He was onsite every step of the way and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. When we asked for changes after work had started, they welcomed every request with a genuine commitment to getting it just right. The siding crew was professional, skilled, and worked tirelessly.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

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)
