"Ed responded to our request for a structural engineer consult very quickly, and was able to come out and give us a consult within 2 hours (and on a Saturday). His assessment of the detached garage walls of a home we are about to buy provided both us and the sellers much more peace of mind in moving forward with the deal; he provided options that would likely be more permanent (which is what we wanted) and cost less to repair, and represented the objective opinion we needed. All the contractors we had talked to were just confusing and upsetting us with differing recommendations and cost estimates. We highly recommend Ed Brenkus..."

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.

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

Provides expert analysis, ensuring safety and compliance with building codes.

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.
