"I had a great experience with this team. They were very professional, courteous, and conscientious while working in my home. The plan for remodeling was established and if challenges arose a solution was presented taking budgeting into account. The team was always on time and finished the job in a reasonable time frame. Invoicing/billing was provided and was clear and concise. Communication with the contractor was never an issue. He made himself available anytime if I had questions. I am completely elated with the remodeling results and family/guests to my home are quite impressed."

"This was a major design project in our second home, with a deadline for our daughter's April wedding. Marva Williams, owner of DWOTC, worked with me from the very beginning (Oct 2016) to give our house a much needed upgrade to "Coastal Chic" without being overly cutesy-beachy. As this was a long distance management project for me, Marva became my onsite eyes and ears, regularly sending text and photo updates. Her attention to detail in supplying detailed quotes and samples, room by room and item by item idea book, follow-up discussions and revisions, and personal responsibility for the security of our house was always professional and friendly with complete dedication to the success of the project and our happiness with the result. Always open to my ideas, Marva's own design sense and years of experience captured the style I desired for our home, and she worked out every detail with me, persevering until I was satisfied with the plans. Work began in early January 2017, and as I was not present for the messy interior work involving painting, flooring and bathroom vanity construction, and furniture deliveries, Marva managed her work crews efficiently and arranged for a thorough commercial cleaning after they were finished. She accepted my online purchase shipments at her office and brought them to my house in her almost daily 20 mi (one-way)commute. I was so pleased when I made my first on-site visit, about 6 weeks into the project. Marva had placed the new furniture and accessories, used existing bedding to make up beds, hung some existing art work, included a surprise custom embroidered sofa pillow, and even added a bouquet of fresh flowers to welcome me to my beautiful home. During my visit we worked together to identify punch list items and make new choices for the master bedroom furniture (Marva readily agreed to take back the first selections which were too big for the space). Additionally she worked with her specialty painter to redo the finish of the kitchen tabletop (650 year old cypress she had sourced!) The wedding deadline was achieved and the result is lovely-- a calm, cool, and charmingly comfortable home that we can enjoy for more than just summertime. Marva prepared all revised quotes and payment schedules, emailing scanned invoices and outside vendor (plumbing, electrical) bills to me for payment. Her initial deposit and agreement was fair and concise; accounting of payments to her were accurate and timely. At final project completion, sign-off and payment, Marva presented me with a notebook with room-by-room paint chips, information for furnishing fabric care, and warranties. Extra paint cans were labeled and stored in plastic bins. A delightful woman to work with, Marva has an endearing personality and good sense of humor, which contribute to her positive attitude. Her willingness to work long-distance and her trustworthiness were essential to the success of this project. I HIGHLY recommend Marva Williams and Designing Women of the Carolinas."

FAQs for structural engineering projects in North Myrtle Beach, SC

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.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
