"We bought an old home and needed a structural engineer to assess what condition the house was in so we knew what we could feasibly remodel. We were admittedly ignorant to the whole process. When Felipe came out for the inspection, he was professional, friendly, and happily answered our uninformed questions. We didn't know what to expect in the structural assessment report, but upon receiving the report, it was unquestionably worth the money. I am doing a bit of the remodeling myself and he has been an invaluable resource allowing me to ask questions as I progress through the remodel. I would recommend his services to others, and will certainly use his services again in the future."

"GS engineering, and Sim Singh in particular have been fantastic to work with. I am a general contractor and have had to hire a number of structural firms over time. Sim offers a very rare combination of a high level of skill in a highly technical field (specifically engineering) a high level of professionalism, and an overall pleasant personality/demeanor. As long as he has the time to take my calls, it is doubtful that I would ever call a different structural engineer than Sim."

"Mr. McCann came out to assess the water and carpenter ant damage to a wall and foundation sill plate of our home. He was able to quickly evaluate the problem area and provide the structural engineering report and repair task list we needed to get contractor bids on the reconstruction project. Highly recommended."

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.

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500
