"DO NOT LET THEM IN YOUR HOME WITHOUT PROOF OF LIABILITY INSURANCE! BEWARE! This company and its inspector, C. Scott Burns, do not follow accepted home inspection standards and caused thousands of dollars in damage to my property during a home inspection. Despite providing pictures, documents, and fulfilling every request, the owner, Jeffery Donaldson, refused to pay for the damage. He only communicated through a generic customer support email and repeatedly refused to identify himself. A quick search of court records in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties will show that he has been involved in numerous lawsuits. I have been forced to seek legal action as well. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AS POSSIBLE. If you are buying or selling a home in the Charleston, SC area, ask who the inspector is and ensure you get a copy of their insurance policy before allowing them into your home. They will refuse to repair any damage caused by their incompetent inspectors. I am extremely disappointed in this company and its owner, Jeffery Donaldson. I will never let this shady business near any of my homes or my clients’ homes. I want to warn everyone to avoid the same painful process I and many others have experienced. There are many other reputable, knowledgeable, and well-trained inspection companies in the Charleston area, such as Cardinal, Hometeam Inspections, or literally ANYONE ELSE besides ACE Preferred Inspections."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

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.

It’s possible to drill into an LVL beam, but you should always avoid it. LVL beams are major structural components of your home, and drilling into them can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you need to drill into an LVL beam, consult a structural engineer. They’ll know the bit size, depth, and directionality that’s safe to use when drilling.

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.

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?
