"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."

"Kamal was extremely helpful in surveying the structural integrity of our dock. He went through immense detail to outline everything that needed to be repaired and was very efficient in getting it back to me for our broker in the sale of our home. I highly recommend Alaska engine engineering!"

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."

"I would highly recommend Fundamental Engineering, LLC. James Norris, P.E. was thorough, the report detailed and his advice actionable. Hiring this company saved me thousands of dollars of unnecessary foundation repairs. If you are concerned about your foundation, Fundamental Engineering should be your first call."

"Willie is very professional and knows his stuff. He visited us several times as we planned the project, and he and his mason Polo consulted with us on our various options. It took about two weeks to complete. Some delays were due to letting block walls cure overnight before they could get any higher. Regardless, they finished in the estimated time. There were some sections we were unsure of because a previous owner had covered up the basement walls with beadboard. After uncovering, they honestly advised us that there was no major damage there and proceeded to carefully replace the cripple wall supports with larger and stronger beams. They did great work, were very pleasant to work with, and we would hire them again!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

A structural engineer’s report is almost always worth it, as it can help you avoid buying or overpaying for a home with structural issues. The most important thing the report does for you is provide peace of mind that you won’t have to pay thousands of dollars for structural repairs right after closing on a property.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Precast concrete can be reinforced with rebar, wire mesh, or other materials to improve its strength and add stability. Precast concrete for large construction projects is often pre-stressed as well for greater structural strength. Reinforced concrete is durable and strong, making it an ideal choice for many construction projects.
