"I had an urgent request to get a permit across the line and Pedro was on his A-game and helped me within hours. Very professional, well documented, etc. Other structural engineers I hired only gave me headaches. I'd use Pedro again any day. Thank you very much, and glad to be in business with you!"

"I needed a structural engineer for removing a wall. The company was able to give me a written plan I could submit to city inspectors in a very timely manner. What I thought would be a huge puse in our remodel ended up going on without delay."

Customers say: Super punctual

"We used Dave to create a complete set of plans for a guest house we intend to build on our property. The house is to be fully wheelchair accessible. We were able to get an appointment quickly after our initial contact. He listened to our ideas and asked all the right questions to help bring our vision to life. He respected our ideas and gave thoughtful consideration to the unique features we are working to incorporate into the space. He gave us a fair quote, delivered the complete set of plans in a reasonable period of time, made adjustments based on our preferences and offered suggestions to make the home even more functional. He even made additional adjustments to the plan after the city required certain modifications and did not charge any additional fees. He was very easy to work with. We highly recommend Dave as an architect."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.

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.
