"Mina is extremely knowledgeable, clear, patient, and upfront. I never hired a structural engineer before and was feeling intimidated by the process. Kiro Engineering understood my issues and home renovation desires and provided me several solutions to make sure the result was safe and properly executed. Through conversation it was clear that Kiro is equally at home dealing with a homeowner like myself as well as very high end extensive and commercial projects. I can’t recommend Kiro enough for any structural engineering projects."

"Very professional experience with Mina, the engineer who thoroughly explained his findings and suggested remedies. He confirmed house settlement suspicions and causes in a lengthy, detailed report complete with photos. I trust Kiro Engineering and would highly recommend them for structural engineering consultation and peace of mind."

"We had the pleasure of working with Patrick during the process of purchasing our new home, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Patrick was responsive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Not only did he explain the foundation issues to us in great details, he also took the time to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire property to identify the root causes and gave us recommendations on necessary repairs to address the issues. His comprehensive report gave us the confidence to move forward with the purchase. Aside from his expertise, he was willing to answer any questions we had and suggested licensed contractors that could do the work, which made the whole process less stressful. We felt supported and well-informed every step of the way. Patrick truly went above and beyond, and we highly recommend Structure Professionals to anyone in search of a skilled structural engineer."

"Bruttaniti Architects changed the way I live in my house. My kitchen renovation is among the most spectacular I have ever seen. Anthony walked me through removing a structural wall and offered great advice throughout the project. He gave me so many great ideas about things I didn’t even know I wanted. We trusted his creative talents and the end result is better than anything I imagined. He made working with my contractor very easy and worked seamlessly with the contractor to make my entire renovation experience rewarding. My main floor is now open concept and my kitchen is the true heart of my home."

"A pencil drawing with the dimensions would be helpful. The deeds are written in legal and specific engineering terms that look like you need to be a surveyor to understand. I work in the chemical field with a chemistry degree and still find it confusing as to what boundary goes where."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

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.
