What does a structural engineer do?+

A structural engineer evaluates the parts of a building that carry and transfer load, foundations, walls, floors, and framing, to determine whether they are performing as intended and, if not, what should be done about it.

How much does a structural evaluation cost?+

Cost depends on the scope of the visit, a single crack review is priced differently than a full pre-purchase evaluation. Contact us with the details of your situation and we’ll provide a clear quote before scheduling.

How long does an evaluation take?+

Most residential site visits take one to two hours, depending on the size of the home and the number of concerns being reviewed. Written reports typically follow within a few business days.

Will you tell me if it’s safe?+

Yes. Part of every evaluation is giving you a clear, honest answer about severity, whether that means real concern, a minor cosmetic issue, or nothing to worry about.

Do I need an engineer or a contractor?+

If you need an independent, unbiased assessment of what’s happening structurally, start with an engineer. If you already know the scope of repair needed, a contractor may be the right next call, we can help you figure out which situation you’re in.

Do you work with real estate transactions?+

Yes. We regularly support buyers, sellers, and agents with independent structural reviews tied to inspection findings and closing timelines.
