"Level Engineering was fast and professional. Las Vegas requires any new build in a home that is attached to an outside wall or load bearing wall to be inspected by a licensed structural engineering firm. Level Engineering was prompt, friendly, and returned the documents within a few days."

"Ethan Alva did an outstanding job on my pre-drywall inspection. I had already used another inspection company, but Ethan was able to identify multiple discrepancies and concerns that were missed the first time. His attention to detail, professionalism, and thoroughness gave me a much clearer picture of the home’s condition before the walls were closed up. He took the time to carefully evaluate the structure, point out visible workmanship issues, and document items that needed further attention from the builder. What stood out most was that he did not just rush through the inspection or give a surface-level opinion. He was detailed, direct, and clearly knew what to look for. Because of Ethan’s inspection, I was able to address important issues before insulation and drywall covered them up. That kind of diligence is exactly what you want when buying a new construction home. I highly recommend Ethan to anyone needing a pre-drywall or new construction inspection."

Customers say: True professional

"The services performed by lead engineer Adam Green were excellent. Adam arrived on time, was dressed professionally, and brought a positive “just the facts, ma’am” demeanor, which I greatly appreciated. Adam was thorough and efficient. He answered all my questions honestly and directly. In addition, Melissa, who handled my original call to Crosstown, was extremely professional. When we spoke on the on the phone, I could tell she was actually listening to me and focusing on my expectations from Crosstown. She wasn’t just waiting to give me a speech or quote a price. She explained the difference between having the lead engineer ( Adam ) and having another engineer come out for the assessment. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend Crosstown to anyone who was having issues with their foundation or to anyone who was interested in an unbiased factual report based on science."

"Mario did an excellent job making a pier and beam foundation for my future home. He replied quick (during the holidays as well), and was very communicative. He worked around my budget without any issues. After many attempts of looking for someone to do this for my new home, Mario was the right man for the job. Would definitely call him again for any future projects."

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.

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.

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.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

Most structural engineers offer free quotes, regardless of the size of the job. For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.
