"A site visit was made to discuss what we were looking for which was ; Concept drawings to improve the "curb appeal" of our front walkway stairs and porch.  
The ANL rep took photos and described their design process and what they would provide in their "deliverables".  After several weeks they sent me one  design concept video with several design sketches utilizing pavers for the walkway and stairs with a wood deck for the porch.  Although the design concept was attractive, I mentioned several issues and asked for an edit.  They made the changes and sent me the revised sketches.  No follow up by ANL after this point.
The overall effort was okay, the sketches and video were average (as a retired engineer the 3d video was nice but I've utilized it for modelling with much higher complexity, resolution etc..)
This exercise might have been more productive with a Landscape Architect ... several concepts would have provided instead of just one, also some follow up by the ANL designer would have been nice.  My opinion is that the company is better suited to providing a turn key service for designing and constructing a completed design/plan versus conceptual development of new ideas.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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 freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

A structural engineer’s report is almost always worth it, as it can help you avoid buying or overpaying for a home with structural issues. The most important thing the report does for you is provide peace of mind that you won’t have to pay thousands of dollars for structural repairs right after closing on a property.
