"I was able to finalize an appointment for the next day with Ashkan last minute during my options period. He was so thorough, addressing all of my issues and finding other issues that my home inspector didn't catch. He is very responsive, patient, and friendly and as others mentioned answered all of my questions and provided solutions for next steps. If I ever need a structural engineer, Ashkan is my go-to."

"Hunter H. was our specialist and he was fantastic! He was polite and on time, as scheduled. Hunter has a very professional demeanor and was very communicative about all the inspection steps.He was also very nice in allowing us to ask him any questions that we had throughout and very respectful of the property. Hopefully, we will not have to have another structural inspection for a very long time, but if we do, we definitely recommend GreenWorks and Hunter in particular."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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. 

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.
