"Bijay of FIF Engineering went the extra mile to help me when my contractor dropped the ball on some paperwork I had to have for my HOA in order to begin a renovation that was on a tight timeline. I called him first thing on a Friday morning and not only did he answer before 8 am, he booked an appointment to view the property and make an assessment before noon. It was a holiday weekend with all other offices closed on Monday, and he got me the paperwork I desperately needed on Sunday! He was helpful in making small revisions to the plans at no extra charge and even followed up a few weeks later to be sure I had everything I needed. Bijay is kind, punctual, an excellent communicator, and very knowledgeable. I will be using him exclusively for all of my structural engineering needs moving forward. Highly recommend!"

"Overall, everything is finished, it looks good and the windows no longer leak. There were delays from the rain and city inspector. I had a few complaints about the Sheetrock work (the garage door almost fell when the bolts pulled out, the work wasn't made "paint ready" at first) and one crew that decided to have beer on the job. But these were dealt with immediately and to my satisfaction. The superintendent, Jose, is very good and easy to communicate with. The owner, Cully Wade, was responsive and made sure that problems were taken care of. This was a very stressful experience for me from the beginning: water pouring in my house around the windows, finding the termite damage, rain and more rain while they were trying to work and delays waiting on inspections. But Bulldog Construction did a very good job with a difficult job and I would not hesitate to use them again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.
