Small business, self employed, use subcontractors that I can trust, minimum consultation and visit fee $295. That includes, site visit, inspection, and a verbal on site report and follow up with contractors as needed . The fee for site visit and inspection is a flat fee, basically it is the charge to drive to your location and provide a verbal report. This fee does not include a written formal report.

"I had a great experience working with Omid Gharavi of OGV Structural Engineering for structural engineering permit services for my home in Baltimore. He was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The drawings he prepared and stamped, along with the engineering letter, were approved by the county without issue, allowing me to move forward with my home project. I truly appreciate his expertise and would highly recommend his services."

We are a home inspection company with structural engineers on staff. We offer full home inspections and special structural inspections. In addition, we offer mold-testing, radon testing, termite inspections, and more.

"We needed a structural engineer to inspect the foundation of a home that we are purchasing and were recommended to contact Kemp. We are so glad that we did. Greg provided first class service. He was thorough and took the time to explain each step that he was taking, the purpose behind it, the potential results and what each could mean, and finally the actual results. He also took the time to educate us on some of the basic indicators of good and deficient or damaged home foundations. He was very personable and is great at making complex information simple enough for novices to understand. He also provided the inspection report almost immediately. We highly recommend Greg and his company’s services."

Specializing in injection of cracks in poured concrete foundation walls to prevent water intrusion and protect foundation and basement. Specialize in working with Realtors, Home Inspectors and Homeowners. MHIC # 93169. Free estimates via phone. Cost effective & permanent.

"Had a 5 foot long crack in my poured-concrete basement wall. It was not leaking, but I wanted to have it sealed regardless. Alek came on a Saturday, gave me his estimate, and then repaired the wall. He was very forthcoming by explaining that the repair was not absolutely necessary if there was no leakage, but I wanted it sealed anyway. He did a top rate job and I would not hesitate to use his services again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In Richmond, structural engineering projects benefit from reinforced concrete and structural steel for their strength and durability, especially in handling local humidity and temperature shifts. Southern Yellow Pine is a reliable choice for load-bearing walls and wood framing. Geosynthetics are recommended for soil stabilization, particularly with clay-heavy ground. Incorporating waterproofing membranes and proper reinforcement techniques helps protect foundations from groundwater and ensures long-term structural integrity.

Helpful?

Richmond offers a range of structural engineering specialists, including full-service firms for structural analysis and design, residential and commercial contractors, and foundation repair experts. You’ll also find steel fabricators, concrete contractors, and professionals skilled in seismic retrofitting for historic properties. Geotechnical engineers and materials testing labs often collaborate with these teams to address unique soil and load-bearing challenges in the area.

Helpful?

When hiring structural engineering professionals in Richmond, prioritize those with proven experience in local building codes, load-bearing wall design, and soil conditions. Look for up-to-date structural analysis tools, clear project timelines, and transparent communication. Verify insurance coverage and ask for references from similar projects. Strong project management skills and familiarity with Richmond’s historic and modern construction standards are also essential for successful outcomes.

Helpful?

Completing structural engineering projects in Richmond provides immediate benefits like enhanced safety, improved load distribution, and compliance with local codes. Over time, these upgrades reduce the risk of structural failure, lower maintenance needs, and extend your building’s lifespan. Investing in proper reinforcement and foundation work also increases property value and supports the overall resilience and revitalization of Richmond neighborhoods.

Helpful?

In Richmond, be cautious of quotes that are unusually low, lack detail on structural analysis or reinforcement methods, or require large upfront payments. Avoid contractors who refuse to provide written contracts, proof of insurance, or references. Skipping a site visit or showing limited knowledge of Richmond’s soil or historic building requirements are also warning signs that you may need to seek a more reliable structural engineering professional.
