"John is very experienced, very dilligent and detail oriented. He is creative in his thinking and developed several ideas for how to solve a very complex remodel challenge involving multiple stories and structural issues. We ultimately canceled the project as the amount of work needed far exceeded what we had initially anticipated. John was very professional in his conduct and wrapping up the engagement"

"I was very impressed with their honesty and candor. They made a number of recommendations regarding my project. They had more experience with drawing 2 D floor plans and I needed 3D SolidWorks drawings for my project. I took their advice and am very happy that I did. I hired from a list of draftsmen recommended by another company representative for Utah. I would not have found the perfect fit without the help of the staff at Creations West."

"We needed prompt service for some architectural drawings, and Skyline Design delivered! He came out the next day, quickly drew up plans. We had a zoom call to fine tune any concerns, and had our plans off to the engineer within two weeks. Phone calls were returned quickly. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend this company."

"communication was just a bit off and abrasive yet understandable. Had to assure my draft person that I wasn't putting blame on him. And the communication was as if time is money and yet again my plans were very good. Price was a bit steep but my overall satisfaction was really good."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

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.
