"In trying to refinance my house, the mortgage company wanted a structural inspection. I hadn't obtained a structural engineer for years and I had no idea what we included or what the cost of an inspection should be. As I didn't THINK there were any structural issues with my property, I really didn't know for sure. AND, what would they be looking for? I spent a couple of hours at least trying to figure out what to expect and what I needed to do to prepare for a dreaded inspection. My brother tried to reassure me that I probably didn't have any issues to worry about - and he should know. He's been a remodeling contractor for the past 25 years! However, I was worried because of the small cracks that had appeared at the tops of several of my windows and above at least one door frame. Two days before FIF was to arrive two very small cracks showed up running perpendicular to the beam and wall. I had already fixed all the cracks in the house (almost assuredly from settling). But these TWO I couldn't just ignore (as my brother had suggested). So, I fixed them and pained the entire two walls upon which they appeared. I must say, I did a good job, too! Anshul from FIF showed up on time. He was very polite and even offered to take off his shoes! I assured him that he needn't take his shoes off. He was very professional and got right to work on the inspection. In a short time (less than an hour), he'd essentially completed his inspection. He invited me outside so that I could see what he was going to suggest for improvements but that didn't rise to the level that needed to be cited on the official report. His suggestions included adding cement diverters/extensions to gutter downspouts and sloping the dirt/lawn away from the house more. That was it! My house did not have any structural issues! I got the report the following day and I was able to close on time! I would not hesitate a moment in hiring FIF again! I also recommend it to anyone who needs a competent engineering inspection at a reasonable cost."

"These guys arrived on time and got to work immediately. We were very satisfied with everything. The foreman - Juan - was very professional and accommodating. They cleaned everything up and hauled away the old shrubbery. We will definitely use them again!"

"LCS provided windstorm engineered drawings for an outdoor kitchen that I'm building. Myra and Leonardo did a great job communicating with me during the process. They got the job knocked out within the scheduled time frame and didn't hold my project up. I highly recommend LCS to anyone who wants great customer service and quality work."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Blueprints are generally available for houses built after the early 1900s. Before then, detailed building schematics like blueprints were rarely used and even more rarely saved. If you have an older house and need blueprints, you can have a new set drawn up by an architect or draftsperson.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

Choose an architect based on their portfolio, experience with similar projects, client reviews, and whether their design approach matches your vision.
