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 FAQs, answered by experts

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

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.

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

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.

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.
