"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

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Structural engineers specialize in all aspects of a building’s structural integrity, including the foundation. Foundation engineering is a critical part of structural engineering, so structural engineers are experts in foundation design. Many foundation repair companies either have a structural engineer on staff or one they work closely with, so be sure you look for that when deciding who to hire for foundation repair.

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support
