"AMO is a great company. As a mechanical engineer myself my gut was telling me my contractor was wrong when he said one of the walls I wanted to remove was not structural. I turned to AMO and they confirmed and also took the time to explain some of the engineering theories since I was interested in learning. Be wary of contractors that do not seek a structural engineer for consultation/design! I would absolutely recommend AMO if you have any structural engineering questions."

"I was extremely satisfied with Josiah Overstreet of Crosstown Engineering, whom I think did a thorough and excellent job. Joe was punctual, professional, and personable. He took measurements throughout the house, documented his work, and later took time to answer additional questions that I had concerning his work and the work and reputation of Structured Repair, which he said was stellar. He answered every question I had thoroughly and in a way that I could follow and comprehend. I do not know what the cost of the service would have been, because the payment for Josiah and Crosstown were included in the price I paid to Structured Engineered for an independent review of their work."

"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."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
