Customers say: Super punctual

"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

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.

Yes, professionals reinforce the foundation with additional supports or piers to prevent future sinking.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.
