"I hired Tom for a renovation. Even though the job was small, I felt Tom gave me the attention he would have given his larger jobs. He is extremely punctual and professional and helped obtaining the building permit from the Town of Eastchester. I would highly recommend Tom to any of my family or close friends that need the services of an architect."

"I?m Edison Matteo from Sunshine Estimation, based in Erie, PA. We worked with NextEdge Builders Corp for our architectural project, and I personally managed the entire process from start to finish. Initially, I had them prepare detailed CAD drawings for our project, and the quality and accuracy of these drawings impressed me immediately. Once the drawings were completed, I requested a cost estimate based directly on them. The estimate provided was extremely precise, with an accuracy of around 98?99%, which gave me great confidence in planning our budget and moving forward. What sets NextEdge Builders Corp apart is that everything is handled under one roof. From drafting to estimation, the process is seamless, reducing the need for constant revisions or coordinating multiple service providers. Their communication, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stand out. I highly recommend NextEdge Builders Corp for anyone looking for reliable and accurate drafting and estimation se"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

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.

Most structural engineers offer free quotes, regardless of the size of the job. For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
