Customers say: True professional

"Daniel Nerf, structural engineer for Crosstown came out last week to inspect our attic and today came out and performed a very thorough foundation inspection on our house. We’re planning a complete renovation but wanted to identify any structural issues, if any, and fix such before beginning renovation. Daniel was very knowledgeable and completely professional with a great personality. He also has a tremendous amount of experience. I learned a lot during the course of the inspections and in our discussion afterwards. I received the written report within a few days on the attic inspection and expect an equally quick completion of the written report on today’s foundation inspection. The first report contained both recommended and necessary work that should be done on our house in specific and clear language. I’m very glad I chose Crosstown Engineering for this very important work and most happy with Daniel’s performance of these inspections."

"Daniel, the Crosstown engineer went into attic to see the bathroom structure and determined the walls were not load bearing. Daniel was professional and competent. I trust him to do a good job and would request his service again. My only request to the company is to reduce the fee if no engineering plan is needed or provided. I feel they should be compensated for their time , but Crosstown charges $420 whether they do an engineering plan or not, other companies only charge when an engineering plan is provided."

"Mr. Green was able to come out just a few hours after we spoke of a morning, which allowed me to receive the structural engineering evaluation I needed, within my 7-day option period on the house we are to purchase. Mr. Green was very thorough, literally walking me through his verbal report, and gave me a plan of action for a settling/sinking concrete slab addition. I highly recommend Mr. Green's services!"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Forney, TX

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.
