"Montana’s did a superior job on the design and plans for my bardominium buildout project. Greg was very attentive to details, professional, timely and thorough. He made the process so much easier by bringing in his expertise of being a hands on builder for many years giving him a more well rounded understanding of construction. I highly recommend using them for your next residential or commercial project."

"Our project consisted of demolishing an existing 2-car garage and building a two-story 1700 sq ft living quarters in its place with an estimated cost of around $350,000. The project required a licensed architect. I wanted a small firm because I felt a small firm could handle our project and we would get lost in a large firm handling multi-million dollar projects. Kamran Mouzoon Architects fit very well. Kamran developed some concepts and we settled on a direction. Architectural drawings were prepared and Kamran secured the required HOA approval. A Structural Engineering Firm, Surveyor and Geotechnical Engineer where hired. Kamran arranged for the city to make a preliminary review of the project. There was a problem with an obscure provision of the city building codes that required a covered and air-conditioned walkway between the buildings. This was never contemplated in our original plan. Kamran was able to work out a solution and saved the project. The quality of his work is excellent. In the end, we have 20 architectural drawings and 10 structural engineering drawings. As an engineer, I am used to reading drawings and found very few mistakes, none of which were major. Communication with Kamran is excellent. He quickly replies to emails and text messages. Very few problems scheduling review meetings. Kamran is just a very nice person to deal with. With respect to our project, we are still waiting for the city of Houston approval. If a problem does arise, I am confident that Kamran will be able to make any adjustments needed. If this is your first rodeo, be aware that this is a time-consuming part of any project. We started this project around the first of July and hope to have final approval by the first of March (8 months). If we had not had a problem with the walkway we probably would have been done in 6 months. Bottom line, I feel his fees are reasonable given the quantity and quality of work involved. I would not hesitate to hire him."

"Gary did a great job. It took a little longer than we both expected, due to getting correct understanding of current structural layout. Very professional and easy to work with and was very available for questions and suggestions. i would use him again and recommend to others."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

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.

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

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?

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.
