"We were lucky to find Kian Architecture to help draw up some life safety plans for a newly constructed exhibit at the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio. We were building a permanent structure within a larger gallery space and Brian helped us identify the codes we needed to comply with. He was very patient with us explaining all of the intricacies of the building codes. Brian talked us through options for modifying our design to comply with codes. We had a tight timeline and he was on top of it to help meet all deadlines. Thank you Brian and Kian Architecture!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.

The average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge a flat rate, by the project, by square footage, or an hourly rate, which is typically between $100 and $250. Many jobs, such as inspections and structural calculations, are billed at a flat rate, which often falls between $300 and $800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the project's type, scope, size, complexity, ease of access for inspection, and your geographic location.

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

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