"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."

"We reached out to StruTex Engineering, LLC for a structural engineering review of a construction project that was exhibiting suspected design shortcomings and significantly substandard workmanship. Mofid Nakhaei, PhD, PE from StruTex Engineering inspected construction methods and as-built status at the jobsite, prepared a letter thoroughly summarizing observed construction deficiencies, an engineering opinion of those observed construction deficiencies, and recommendations regarding appropriate next steps. We are totally satisfied with the review performed by Dr. Nakhaei, and we would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a professional structural engineering review of a construction or remodeling project."

"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."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.

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. 

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.

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.

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.
