"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."

"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!"

"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."

"I should have used Charles Todd Helton. A friend recommended me to another architect. I used the other. Big mistake on my part. I had a bad experience using the other one. I found Charles to be more professional, honest, more tuned in to what I wanted for a home design."

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.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

Absolutely, as it ensures designs are viable and won’t compromise structural integrity.
