"***BEWARE*** Do not hire this firm because if they find something wrong, they will turn you into the City Building Inspector. My house is for sale and in the buyer's inspection, a crack in the foundation needed further assessment. I hired ACE based on internet recommendations to assess this foundation crack. I spoke to Doug on the phone several times prior to our meeting and he seemed great. Prior to the site meeting, I had said that the buyer would be there so if he saw anything really bad to speak to me in private about it. He said that he worked for me and wasn't comfortable with the buyer being there and would not address anything in front of him. When he met me at the house, that all went out the window. He said that the foundation crack was not an issue but he found some other things that he didn't like. Now keep in mind, I only hired him specifically for this foundation crack. He assessed a underground concrete garage roof, which on the top also doubles as one entry point for the house. He said it wasn't safe and basically was going to collapse. And it was going to call the City Building Inspector to report this. Now I was flabbergasted. I had no idea there was any issue with this roof. I pleaded with him to not call the city officials because this was the first I was hearing about it and to give me a chance to repair. He said it was against his ethical code. He also told the buyer to basically run away from this sale because there were major problems. This was an as-is sale so ACE had no right to provide their opinion after we had hired ACE directly. Once ACE left, I called a concrete contractor immediately to assess the roof. I met the contractor the next day and he basically told me that it was not in any danger of collapsing. ACE forwarded the engineering report to the city building officials who put a lien on the property based on "Unsafe Conditions". I spoke to the building inspector who said he agreed that it was in no danger of collapsing but since they have a stamped engineer report, they had to write me up. I had to hire another engineering firm to assess this garage roof and draft plans for the work to be done. This literally cost me the sale of the house and more than $10K in repair work. DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

If your home's foundation was damaged due to shifting soil, the same problem will reoccur unless you stabilize the structure by adding posts in the bedrock.

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.

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.
