Customers say: Super punctual

"The understanding was that he would provide everything we needed to begin construction. We hired a firm in Dallas to survey our property so that Dave could begin his design. The survey cost $500. Dave's designs are detailed and easy to read/understand. Before we agreed to do business with him, Dave told us he expected to have to change the plans several times as that was typical. We told him up front that we had two different options we were considering and he told us he would produce both options for our contractors to quote. The plans came to us with the wrong address listed, not a big deal but worth noting because the city will not accept them like that. We ended up going with the cheaper build and had to tweak it a few times due to Garland's codes. Also, not a big deal but it was at this time that Dave started complaining about how much work he was having to do for us. The ultimate complaint, and the reason why I will not use or recommend Dave's services came after we FINALLY submitted the plans to The City of Garland. They told us that they would not accept them without an engineers' stamp. I called Dave to ask about this and he recommended a couple of engineers but NONE of them would stamp plans that they did not design. We networked our own engineers and they all said the same thing. So we were left with a $5,000 pile of paper. We ended up not doing the addition because we would have had to draw a larger line of credit that we budgeted for. In conclusion, if you are building in a city that requires and enforces code compliance DO NOT USE O'Brien, find an engineer you trust and make sure they stamp the plans."

"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."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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?

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
