At Level Engineering, we are committed to common sense, real-world engineering solutions. We started Level because, after years in the building industry (Civil, Structural, Home Building, etc.) we continued to see something missing in our industry that cost homeowners untold stress and frustration, lost contractors time and money, and real estate agents and lenders were left unable to satisfy their client's needs. We decided to do something about it, and Level Engineering was founded. We serve your interests and provide knowledgeable expert inspection, analysis, recommendation, design, and reporting. So whether your need is for permitting, forensics, foundation problems, new or repair engineering designs; or just for your peace of mind, let us help you navigate your structural engineering projects. Our headquarters is in Colorado and we are currently expanding into many other states.

"I initially rated Level Engineering as 1-star; however, all issues have been remedied. Maybe my experience with a local engineer and the local office was a one-off because I do see many positive reviews. My issues with the engineer assigned to my project was he was a poor communicator and lacked accountability. There was also an issue with the structural drawings, something I didn't know to catch, but the City of Henderson caught during permitting. How the local office reacted to the discrepancy was unsatisfactory, but with the support of Customer Relations and the company's CEO, the issue was resolved. 3 star rating is more than fair for the Las Vegas office of Level Engineering."

At GreenWorks, we know that buying, building, or investing in property is one of the biggest decisions of your life. You deserve absolute peace of mind and confidence in your investment. That’s why we’ve built the nation’s largest privately owned, non-franchise inspection and engineering company—serving with unmatched quality, speed, and care. Unlike most inspectors who only point out problems, GreenWorks provides clear answers, proactive solutions, and cost transparency. Every inspection includes a detailed walkthrough, a comprehensive report with photos, and a free repair estimator so you know exactly what deficiencies mean and how much they will cost to fix. From foundation mapping, plumbing, and HVAC checks to mold, asbestos, radon, and lead testing, our comprehensive services ensure no detail is missed. For homeowners, we are your go-to partner from the first pre-pour on new construction to warranty inspections years later. For realtors, we keep deals moving forward with fast, accurate reports and communication your clients can trust. For commercial investors, we can inspect up to 900 units a day, delivering thorough PCAs, ESAs, and structural plans that keep feasibility studies on schedule. And for builders, we provide engineering-led quality assurance to make sure projects are built right the first time. Founded nearly two decades ago by CEO Harmony Brownwood, GreenWorks was created to raise the bar in an industry that too often settles for the bare minimum. Every inspector completes a rigorous training program—including structural engineering—before serving clients. Our team is backed by licensed engineers, cutting-edge technology, and a full support staff available 365 days a year. When you choose GreenWorks, you’re choosing more than an inspection. You’re choosing a long-term partner committed to safeguarding your property, protecting your investment, and giving you clarity at every step.

"I have a very dangerous situation with my foundation in the front of my house. I hired these guys to tell me how to tell a contractor to fix the problem. When they came out to inspect, I showed them the problem and they agreed, it was a real problem. Later, they send a report back that completely ignores the very real problem I have. Instead, telling me to fix the back of the house that is no problem at all. Trying to ask for further assistance, they said they did what I paid them for."

"We had a simple plat process where we split one property into 2. We relied on A-1 to provide the service. Not only did it take 24 months to complete (yes you read that correctly), but we had to hound the team to get it done. Some of the delays were basic. Hays County had a checklist of requirements for electronic files, it took multiple rounds to get these corrected and added to the delay. That delay, because of price inflation, has cost me more than $12,000 in additional costs for septic components. Would not recommend, not even to my ex-wife."

We have made it our duty to deliver the best workmanship while giving customers friendly and reliable service. Customer satisfaction is our main priority. We realize that repairs can often be a major undertaking. Christopher Contracting will be glad to provide you with an evaluation and an estimate to satisfy your needs. Integrity based contracting and construction business fully insured and licensed.

"They leveled my house in 2018. It was OK for about 5 years when the house started cracking up again. First let me say that they no longer answer the phones consistently. They wait days to return a call. The lady I eventually talked to made it clear that my warranty was useless but did agree to send someone over to look at it. They called a plumber for me who did a test and found several sewer line leaks, which voided the warranty. The plumbers excavated and fixed the leaks for $16,000. After begging for a quote to re-level for months, Christopher finally blessed me with a quote for $13,350. Considering I paid $27,951.72 in 2018, and the excavation work was already done by the plumbers, I decided that I could not justify spending that much more, for a total of $57,300 on my foundation with no warranty, so now I live in a permanently cracked and crooked house."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

If your home's foundation was damaged due to shifting soil, the same problem will reoccur unless you stabilize the structure by adding posts in the bedrock.
