"The engineer Leo was very responsive when I left a message over the Christmas holiday weekend for an engineering inspection needed before a residential home contract to purchase expired in this hot 2020 market. He inspected the home the following Monday and provided his report. With his valuable report and information, the contract has proceeded and all parties are very happy!"

"How can I explain how impressed I am with Chris and his team at CER Design Build? There are almost no words that describe the combination of craftsmanship, quality, speed, delivery and level of professionalism that this one company has managed to accomplish. I have dealt with many contractors and none have ever demonstrated the level of commitment nor expertise that I've seen with CER. I certainly do not desire to work with anyone else! Thank you Chris for your beautiful designs and helping to imagine my dream home; you have the team and ability to make this homeowner's dream a reality. Thank you! <br />"

"We bought a small bungalow in need of major renovation in a historical high end community. Our thoughts were to renovate and expand the home to modern family needs, while keeping the historical charm of the original structure. We knew what we wanted, but were struggling to put our ideas into a cohesive plan. We brought G2 into the project, and were very pleased with the results. G2's excellent communication and collaboration through our entire design process was incredibly helpful. G2's knowledge and experience was applied our design ideas that we were able to build upon, which saved us from having to start from scratch. Our project location had strict code requirements, G2 was able to guide us through the codes and finalize documents that were viewed favorably by city review boards. They are professional, efficient, and above all easy to work with. I would highly recommend G2 Design."

"We had some structural issues. I had a couple of structural companies come out, but did not want the job as it was too small or they could not figure what should be done. People who install tile or hardwood floors would not dare pull up the plywood floor to see what was going on as they are not engineers. All they could suggested was to place some type of leveling compound to help level out the floor, but I had this done before and did not completely level the floors. The floor needed a structure engineer such as Justin that was willing to do a small job.  It was a small job, but took several days. After speaking with Justin, he sent his best guy Ed over and was there the next day.  Some days he had a crew of 4 or 5 people. The job did keep growing, but it needed be done.  I felt Justin knew what he was doing when he told Ed how to level one part of the kitchen. The previously day I had typed on U-Tube” how to level floors”, a guy in Scotland demonstrated how to level 100 year old houses and those guys are experts as there are plenty 100 year old houses in Scotland. Justin instructed Ed to level the same way as the Scotland guy on U-Tube. After that, I felt very comfortable with Justin. Actually, this procedure reinforced the joists of our house. I needed someone who knew what they are doing when it comes to modifying the construction of house joists. Thank goodness I  found Justin on Angie’s list that someone else had mention his company’s name. I googled Heavenly Foundations and called and left a message, Justin call me back that day and made an appointment to come out to look at the job the very next day. To my surprise I felt confident in Justin when he came out as so many times people did not want to touch anything structural or did not want the job.  I also liked Justin calm demeanor and southern accent. I was very happy with the job Ed and the guys did.  I would definitely use Justin again."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Highland City, FL

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.
