Common Sense, Real-World Engineering Solutions At LEVEL, we are committed to common sense, real-world solutions. We pioneered LEVEL because, after years spent exploring all disciplines of civil and structural engineering in the building industry, we continually encountered the missing fundamentals in our own trade. These lost elements of service culture & exceptional business practice inevitably cost owners & entities untold stress and frustration; contractors lost time & money, realtors & lenders were left unable to satisfy their clients' needs. We concluded that our capacity for A&E services could function at a higher level, thus, LEVEL Engineering & Inspections was founded. We serve your interests & provide knowledgeable, expert design, inspections, analysis, forensics, recommendations, and reporting. Whether your need is for permitting, forensics; new, remodel, or repair engineering designs; foundation problems; civil or architecture - let us help you navigate your Civil, Commercial, Residential Structural Engineering needs.

"The service was good. The engineer was good. He was professional and he knows his stuff. He knows his job very well."

Forward thinking contractors and homeowners realize that Techno Metal Post foundations are the reliable and environmentally responsible alternative to concrete. Not only are they retractable (if the land use changes), they are also recyclable. Galvanized steel posts are engineered to bear the determined load and guaranteed not to fail. The patented plastic sleeve insures against frost heave and the hydraulic installation is minimally disruptive to the landscape.

LAD Construction is a small general contracting firm that works most trades in house but will use area specific subs as required by various townships and cities. We work projects form 100's up to 750K and we only take check or cash payments and offer no credit card payments. Occasionally we do offer promotions so keep us in your in box :)

"They are a bunch of scammers who have no qualifications, the father-son team is such a scam, they claim to be a Christian family business, and they did garbage work and in the end, they abandoned the construction site without finishing the work. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM!!! The town of Rochester also used them and they also did a very bad job please reach out to them before you do any business with this company. The son Louis jr also told me himself that he was hiding from a couple who he owed 50K for the same reason BAD WORK!! That's when things quickly got sour and shortly after questioning him about the quality of his tile work he stated "it's B quality work at best" and "who is going to see your bathroom anyway" RUN!!! they do not know what they are doing. work so bad it will not pass inspection. The work is so bad it's already falling apart and we have spent a lot of money replacing work they did incorrectly. siding coming off, uneven roof and falling apart, walls gaps were so bad I could go on and on Tile not even. construction nightmare"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.
