I am a New York State licensed Architect experienced in residential and commercial projects. My fees start at $500 for signed drawings, then it's goes up from there with depending on project size, complexity and number of site visits just to give you an idea. Generally my professional rate works out to be about $50/hr. For design renderings, my fees start at $200 and go up depending on time and complexity, but generally work out to about $30/hr. I am a sole proprietorship with little overhead and because of that, I have very low prices compared to bigger residential firms out there. I also have a flexible schedule to get projects out in a reasonable timeframe. If you need assistance with designing your project or getting ot approved by the town, please contact me and I will get started right away!

"We decided to explore the idea of adding a covering to our deck this year, and consulted with Robert Szudzik as to what options we would have. He was honest and upfront in noting that our best option would be to remove the deck to allow for better space and clearance. We did just that, and had a concrete pad poured in its place, which gave us a larger template to work with. Given the recent events, many contractors were not available, so we decided to work on this build ourselves. Having some technical background but not as a GC, Robert's drawings helped us greatly in obtaining the necessary town permits, composing a materials list & building the structure to code. He was available to discuss questions as they came up, and offered helpful solutions when we ran into potential roadblocks. I'd highly recommend Robert Szudzik for residential or commercial projects."

"My house is old and small with a very low crawlspace infested with bugs and spider webs. Jeremy came out and was very honest and down to earth. The price quoted was very fair. He tackled the project head on and communicated with me every step of the way. He showed that he put thought and care into what he was doing. Now I have a very clean and bright crawlspace that I'm no longer reluctant to go into. It also cut down on the bad musty smells and heat loss in the winter. It's the best investment I have made for my home!"

RAC Engineering PC was created to provide home owners and others with an affordable engineering option with down to earth personnel that communicate in every day language so you will understand the complexities of construction projects and to help you understand why building codes are required for your safety

"Avoid this company. Completely unprofessional and unreliable. We hired them to complete an addition on our home. We paid half up front, continually reached out and waited multiple weeks between each communication. When they would finally respond, their drawings did not include the features we asked for, and our feedback was not considered in future drawings. We couldn't even get them to respond when we wanted to terminate the contract. We eventually had to pay the remaining balance to avoid them placing a lien on our home. DO NOT hire this company!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.
