"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."

"I searched the local area on Angies list for an architect. I found Three D Concepts and gave a call to Joe. He came to the house and spent about an hour looking at what would need to be done to take this wall out. Joe thoroughly explained what the job required as far as structural support in the basement and necessary dimensions of the beam to be installed in place of the wall. I decided to move forward with Joe, within approximately 2 weeks he had the drawings finished. He provided me with multiple copies which 1 would be submitted to the town and others to contractors for estimates.
I asked Joe to draw plans for the front entrance way as well. This drawing because it was the front doorway of the house required a few rough versions to be drawn to get an idea of how it would look. We discussed the drawings a few times and once we agreed which one looked best, he finished it and brought the final drafts to my house with the wall removal drawings. Both sets of drawing were professionally done on large 24'' x 36'' size paper with great detail and all of Joe's business and license information present.
I would recommend Joe to a friend and use him again for future work. Thank you!

"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, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

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.
