"I needed a qualified structural engineer for consultation on a new home construction due to some concerns I had about the foundation for the front porch. I was very pleased with the degree of knowledge and professionalism extended to me for all of my concerns. I highly recommend this business."

"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

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.

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.

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.
