"In renovating our beach cottage in Warwick, RI we found the roof needed structural work. Building inspector required a structural engineered plan. Adam was easy to communicate with. He was timely with his plan and follow up inspection. He was also available by text and phone for questions during the project. He was great to work with!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I’ve been working with Steve Medeiros of SPM Design on a complete remodel of my home, and I highly recommend him. From the start, Steve produced excellent designs that really captured what I was hoping to achieve with the renovation. His ideas were thoughtful, practical, and improved the overall vision for the house. What really stands out is how easy Steve is to work with. As the project evolved and some plans changed—as they often do in a major renovation—he was always flexible, responsive, and willing to adapt the design to make things work better. He consistently came back with smart solutions and improvements. Steve is professional, creative, and collaborative throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for an architect who delivers great design and is genuinely enjoyable to work with, I strongly recommend Steve Medeiros and SPM Design. I’m very glad I found him."

"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

Hi, I’m EDUIN,\n\nI am an experienced handyman with a professional background in architecture and property maintenance. This unique combination allows me to look at your home not just as a set of repairs, but as a complete structural system. I bring a high level of technical precision to every task.\n\nMy Experience:\n\nI have spent years working across both the design and physical upkeep sectors. My transition from architecture to hands-on maintenance means I understand the "why" behind how your home was built, which helps me solve problems more effectively than a standard quick-fix approach. From structural integrity to aesthetic finishes.\n\nWhere I Work\n\nI am based in Cape Cod, MA, and I proudly serve the local community. I am also available to travel to surrounding areas within a 30-mile radius for larger projects or scheduled maintenance.\n\nSpecial Skills & Expertise;\n\nArchitectural Insight: Ability to read blueprints and understand the structural needs of older and modern homes.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.
