"Had Jim come and look at my home as I needed an engineer to draft up a structural improvement. He wasted months of my time, dodged my phone calls (I had to call him with different numbers to get through), and he ultimately did not deliver what we agreed upon and no contractor said the designs he did deliver were feasible or even made sense for my needs. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere."

"They assessed project, did preliminary design, got helical pile subcontractor. We paid for soil and test drilling, and for topological survey as requested. The sub contractor hired to do scaffolding never did it, so we had to arrange that. So after 4 months of all the prep and 3 or 4 site visits by the engineer, we were ready to go. They never produced the design. After 2 months of emailing and calling we never got a single response. So we were out a couple grand engineering fee, and lost the entire build season. Had to start all over. (This was for a collapsing Livingroom on piers, so it was kind of urgent.) Trying to decide if it is worth going to small claims court to recover our feet. But the big problem is it just did not get done and the engineer just ghosted us, very unprofessional."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with MF Builders on a home addition, kitchen remodeling, and bathroom remodeling project, and I am beyond thrilled with the results! From the very beginning, their team was professional, communicative, and truly took the time to understand my vision for the space. The home addition turned out better than I could have imagined, seamlessly blending with the existing structure while adding much-needed space and functionality. The kitchen remodel completely transformed the heart of my home. It now feels open, modern, and incredibly efficient. The attention to detail in the cabinetry, countertops, and lighting really made a difference. As for the bathroom, it went from outdated to absolutely luxurious. The design was both practical and stylish, with quality finishes and fixtures that made it feel like a spa. Throughout the process, the MF Builders team was respectful of my space, kept the work area tidy, and always made sure I was satisfied with each step. What really stood out was their commitment to meeting deadlines and staying within budget. They provided regular updates and were always open to any questions or concerns I had. I am so happy with the final outcome and highly recommend MF Builders to anyone looking to renovate or expand their home. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

You’ll want to consult a structural engineer if you’re making changes that include altering your home’s load-bearing properties. You should also hire a structural engineer if your architect, realtor, or local home inspector recommends it. You may want a structural engineer to help modify a home in an earthquake, hurricane, or flood zone, modify the locations of doors and windows, or add additional floors to a home.
You'll need to choose whether you need an architect, home inspector, or structural engineer, depending on what you need. Architects work to design the form and function of the home, including structural elements. Structural engineers focus on the home’s load-bearing and functional aspects, while home inspectors assess a home’s condition during real estate transactions, after natural disasters, or during appraisals.
During a site visit, residential structural engineers near you inspect the foundation, infrastructure, curtain wall, insulation, and building envelope. Through careful inspection and comparison to the approved building plans, the pro ensures the actual building meets the drawings provided or advises corrections. They must approve the completion of each stage, often required before the next development phase can begin.
A structural engineer makes approximately $68,000 to $147,000 per year or around $70 to $250 per hour.
Structural and mechanical engineering are both subdisciplines of civil engineering. Structural engineers specialize in loads and forces put on structures and often work in residential and commercial settings to create load-bearing structures like walls, foundations, and bridges.
Civil engineers work on infrastructure projects in both public and private settings. These include roadways, sewage systems, bridges, and tunnels. Mechanical engineers design and maintain power systems such as generators, engines, turbines, refrigeration systems, escalators, and elevators.
