"APP initially came in to encapsulate our crawlspace and renovate our bathroom in our new home due to water damage. Some structural issues were discovered, and they were able to fix those as well. Our bathroom turned out beautifully and we could not be more grateful to Hunter and his team – Nathan Patterson, Robert Railton, and Steven Ingold. Our crawlspace is now fully encapsulated, complete with new plumbing and new jacks under the bathroom. Their communication was fantastic, they thoroughly explained what was needed each step of the way and were extremely patient with my design changes. They did a very thorough job that will last a long time. We love how the bathroom turned out, thank you SO much for bringing our dreams to life! We look forward to working with APP again on any future projects!"

"i needed a survey, drain field layout for pump type system, house site, and well placement. this survey included vacating 3 lines separating this property into 4 lots, in order to make it into 1 lot of .813 acre.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Most structural engineers offer free quotes, regardless of the size of the job. For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.

It’s possible to drill into an LVL beam, but you should always avoid it. LVL beams are major structural components of your home, and drilling into them can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you need to drill into an LVL beam, consult a structural engineer. They’ll know the bit size, depth, and directionality that’s safe to use when drilling.

A structural engineer’s report includes a professional assessment of a property’s foundation condition, structural elements like roof trusses and floor joists, and the skeleton of the home, including studs, beams, and rafters. It will also usually include an assessment of drainage on the property and any potential issues that could arise from environmental conditions, like extreme weather in the area and even tree placement.
