"I needed a structural engineer for drawings for a deck, as requested by Pittsburgh. I called Kevin McLane who came over that afternoon for the paperwork he needed. Kevin called the next day and had all the drawings done and brought them over that evening. Because of a discrepancy on measurements we wanted Pittsburgh required additional drawing which again Kevin did within a day. I would highly recommend him for all structural engineering services. He seems quite knowledgeable along with being friendly and expedient."

"I hired Merrie Ann Cullin to design a pair of town homes for construction on a small lot. The project required a long, narrow building that would not end up as a boring oblong. Merrie Ann was so successful in addressing this challenge with dormers and other interesting features that everyone believes there are four units instead of two. The interior is spacious and interesting because of cathedral ceilings,use of angles, and oak steps inlaid with ceramic. I was the general contractor for the project but Merrie Ann offered numerous suggestions for subcontractors, materials, and options for saving money. She prepared plans that were correct from the outset and ready on time. She went out of her way to obtain an engineer's approval when the first engineer decided not to honor his commitment to review the plans. Throughout our collaboration she was a good communicator (via fax, e-mail, and phone) and unfailingly courteous. Should I need any more buildings designed, I would definitely hire Ms. Cullin again and would recommend her work to others without hesitation. Neighbors have thanked me for building such an attractive and interesting pair of townhouses. These accolades really belong to Merrie Ann Cullin."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
