"Worst customer experience possible. Incompetence surpassed by arrogance. Took over 2.5 years to have plans that could be built on a 100 sq ft addition. Multiple reviews due to incorrect assumptions or lack of detail. Catastrophic flaw designed into the first attempted "plans". Was forced to bring in a 3rd party engineer to resolve flagrant issues with the design. Complete lack of understanding of residential roof design. Causing massive delay and over design. Would not recommend them to build an outhouse."

"I wanted to echo some other reviews on here; do not give any money to this crook. I hired Dan for some engineering work for an addition to my house. He came out for the initial consultation and seemed nice enough, but didn't take a single note of what we talked about. The contract said he'd have the initial drawings done in 4 weeks. Finally 3 months and many unanswered emails/calls later he finally delivered some drawings that were so far off the mark from what we discussed I was actually embarrassed for him. I once again went over the details of what I was looking for and he said he'd make the changes. At this point he completely ghosted me and didn't respond to any of my contact attempts. I finally had to submit a credit card charge back to get my money back from this low life. TLDR: Dan Canda is an absolutely worthless individual and will try to steal your money. DO NOT USE!"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Aurora, CO

To determine if a wall is load-bearing, start by checking your home’s original plans or asking a structural engineer. Exterior walls always carry weight, but interior ones only do if they sit over a beam or run perpendicular to floor joists. If a wall lines up with posts in the basement or falls directly under the roof ridge, assume it’s load-bearing and call a professional before attempting to remove it with a sledgehammer.

Calculating the wall load and sizing the beam must be performed by experts to ensure structural safety. You need a structural engineer to evaluate all load aspects and determine the proper beam dimensions. A professional engineer performs precise calculations and advises on any necessary enhancements, such as larger footings for support. An inspector then verifies that the revised structure meets all safety and code regulations before the finishing work begins.

Hiring a structural engineer is essential for ensuring your home remains structurally sound during any major renovation. Their responsibility is to deliver expert assessments and design recommendations for load-bearing modifications. The average cost to hire a structural engineer is $500, with rates ranging from $350 to $800. Consulting a licensed, experienced engineer guarantees that every structural project, whether constructing a new home or remodeling an existing one, is completed safely and efficiently.

Almost all load-bearing wall removals require a permit as they support everything above it, and building departments want proof that the new beam can handle the weight. Pulling a permit triggers plan review and inspections that confirm the work meets local code and safety standards. Skipping this step can lead to fines or being forced to rebuild later, so have your contractor pull the permit before work starts.

Removing a load-bearing wall to create an entrance for a carport or covered patio is a task that comes with defined cost implications. This modification requires extra structural adjustments to ensure safety and proper integration with the adjoining space. When you convert a wall into an entryway, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. The additional work required for this conversion reinforces the home’s integrity and ensures compliance with applicable building codes.
