"We called Rick to discuss installing an addition to our home for a garage, master bedroom, and master bathroom.  We also requested quotes on fixing some exterior items included soffits, fascia, gutters, installing a deck, paving the driveway.
Rick was extremely friendly and responsive.  He is very professional and knowledgeable about his field.  We went through a couple of options and then decided on what was expected to be the cheapest option.  Rick built the plans for approval.  This process took longer than expected: was supposed to be about 30 days but went well over 60.  Not a concern for us because we are willing to wait for proper planning for a large project.
We got the plans, drawings, and scope which only cost us $1500.  They are nice and thorough plans that could be used if we were to move forward with the project with Rick or anyone else.  They were nicely done.
We chose not to go forward with the project because the quote in the end was more than double the original discussion.  It would price our home out of its market and was unexpectedly high.
Rick is a very nice, professional engineer who is thorough with his work.  The price quote was just so high it wasn't even worth starting a negotiation to us.  If you use Rick for plans or drawings, we highly recommend him.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles. Since several home styles fall under Neoclassical architects' umbrella, a range of building materials—including traditional wood framing—will make an appearance.

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

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.
