"I called a few different companys for them to come out and give me an estimate on what i had in mind to be done. (3 total) One company made me feel dumb for not being sure on what i wanted exactly done. The second company give me a crazy high bid even after i told them im working with a budget, and the thrid company was copperhead contracting which turned out to be the company i went with. They game me an estimate that was lower then the first two and even helped me decide on things i didnt have picked out like the type of windows i wanted, even down to the knobs for the cabinets! Now i felt better after talking with them so i did hire them as my contractor. It took them a couple of weeks to get it done however it turned out better then i had imagined! The crewmen came across a few difficulties but they handled it well. Id like to say it was worth hiring copperhead contracting. Id love to work with the same guys for any of my future projects."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.

A structural engineer evaluates any structural components, like floors, foundations, walls, and roofs, to ensure they can support the structure. They also consider the soil quality in your area, potentially extreme weather conditions, and proximity to bodies of water and groundwater to ensure your building can withstand any stresses placed on it by the surrounding environment. Structural engineers work on both new and existing buildings.

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.

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.
