David A. Weightman, P.E.

Engineer Structural,

About us

My name is David A. Weightman, P.E. and I have 48 years of structural engineering experience. I specialize in designing openings in residential load bearing walls using dimensional lumber for short spans, engineered lumber for intermediate spans, and steel beams for long spans. Usually, this involves removing a load bearing wall between a kitchen and living or dining room. I also strengthen sagging floors, design repairs for cracked basement walls, design decks, porches, additions, and retaining walls. My design drawings are used to obtain contractor bids and building permits. During construction, I will periodically inspect the work. My clients include home owners and remodeling contractors. I will explain structural concepts to you in a clear, professional manner. Usually, I will complete the design within 10 business days. NOTE: Residential projects only!! NO industrial or commercial projects. We now have a local structural engineer for Wilmington, Delaware!

I would highly recommend using David for a structural inspection. He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He performed a thorough inspection from the basement to the attic, as per our request, and offered explanations throughout the review. He provided a summary report in a very timely manner that provided specific recommendations for remediation. This made it easy to hire the right person to complete all the recommended upgrades. He told us what we needed to do and what was not needed. Would definitely use David again!

We have an older home and we are looking to open up our kitchen and dining room into one room. David was not only very professional but showed me a lot of features of the house I was not aware of. The turn around on the engineering drawing was quick and his pricing was excellent. Would highly recommend him for your project.

David is a very pleasant individual. He actually made time on a Sunday to come over for his estimate, knowing we were given the run-around by other professionals previously. When he called us, he guaranteed us over the phone that he could help us with our structural reinforcement plan, which gave us confidence, so we used him and were very pleased with the result! Thanks.

I am building my own dec, workshop, and garden shed. I wanted a qualified civil engineer to validate my structural design and make changes for building code compliance. Brittany did a first rate job. My building permit was approved in 2 days because of her detail plans and notes.
