"I recently bought a house and prior to the purchase I had Bob come out to the and provide an evaluation on the overall structural soundness of the home. He came out, said everything looked great and he would send me a letter stating as much. After I received the letter, we proceeded with the closing (mid-May). Around mid-October I noticed there was separation in the mortar of a course of bricks in the front of my house. After looking over the situation, we discovered the front of my house is sinking. I called a company I had recently used to level my porch and wanted their opinion as they also do foundation work. When they arrived, they gave me options for what they can do, but that they would not touch the job until they had an engineer sign off on the project for liability reasons. I asked them for a suggestion and they gave me Bob's number. I said I knew who that was and a few days later had Bob come back to evaluate the sinking and give me a letter saying the process the foundation company wants to do would fix my problem. While Bob was there he took notes, listened to all my concerns, and said that he believed the foundation contractor was correct with their assessment. He also told me that when the foundation contractor was there fixing the problem, he would also be there to make sure the previously mentioned porch leveling wasn't the cause of the foundation dropping. I also wanted him to confirm a wall in my kitchen was not load bearing as we are going to be renovating the kitchen soon. He said no problems with everything and he would send the foundation letter in a few days. After two weeks, I called Bob (10/28) and he apologized and said he would get the letter out that day. No latter came, so I called back 11/9 with no answer. 11/23 I called and he messaged while it was ringing asking if he can call me later - I messaged back stating I still need the letter and if he didn't want to do business to please just say so. No call back. I called again this past Friday, 12/2 and received the same "Can I call you later" text. No call back. I called later that afternoon to no answer. Every time I called and he didn't answer, the mailbox was full and I couldn't leave a message. I texted him this Monday 12/5 and asked when he can talk - no response. I called both Tuesday and today (12/7) with no answer. At this point I will still try make contact with him, but I will also be looking for a much more professional replacement."

"Engaged with Evolution drafting to get plans done for my sons home after it was damaged from the 2 hurricanes in Florida. We agreed on pricing and everything seemed great and we were close to finalizing the plans but the local city needed the plans signed and sealed. Evolution Drafting said they could provide this service for an additional cost of $1,100.00 which was paid on 3/20. They stated it should only take a few weeks to get done. Nothing ever was delivered and after numerous texts and emails, I was promised the final signed and sealed plans by 4/30. Well 4/30/2025 has come and gone and I still have not received our plans. Rueben has continued to stall me by stating he is trying to get these done ASAP. It has reached a point that I feel they are never going to get us the final plans as we have asked and paid for. Started out as a great experience but has turned into a nightmare for us and our son and his wife."

You should bring in a structural engineer any time you’re adding or removing something that carries weight—think new construction, a major remodel, or moving a load‑bearing wall. Call one during a real‑estate deal, after storm damage, or when you spot cracks in the foundation, beams, or chimney. An engineer’s report confirms that the structure is sound and tells your contractor exactly what fixes—or reinforcements—are needed to keep the home safe long‑term.
Who you hire depends on the task. Hire an architect to shape the look and layout of your home. Call a structural engineer to verify that load‑bearing elements—walls, beams, foundation—can handle the plan or to diagnose structural issues. Bring in a home inspector for a broad health check during a sale, after a storm, or for an appraisal. Matching the pro to the job keeps costs down and problems in check.
During the visit, the engineer checks your foundation, framing, walls, roof, and insulation, then compares what they see to any existing plans. If the structure matches the specs, you get the all‑clear; if not, the engineer outlines the fixes. Their sign‑off is what lets the next phase of work move forward, so expect clear notes on what’s solid and what needs attention.
Civil engineering is the broad field that covers roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. Structural engineers focus on the loads and forces inside a building or bridge—foundations, beams, and walls—while mechanical engineers design and keep power systems running, from elevators and turbines to HVAC equipment. In short, civil handles the big picture, structural makes sure it stands up, and mechanical keeps everything moving.
Most structural engineers offer free quotes. They’ll look at your home’s size and the scope of work to decide whether a flat fee or hourly rate makes sense. Simple inspections are usually priced by square footage; bigger, more complex jobs require a site visit and a detailed written estimate. Getting that number up front lets you nail down a budget before any drawings or inspections begin.
The engineer reviews every load‑bearing part of the home—floors, foundation, walls, roof, and major beams—along with insulation and the soil around the structure. They also factor in local weather risks and nearby water sources. The goal is to confirm that the materials and construction can handle day‑to‑day loads and extreme events alike, and to flag any spots that need reinforcement.
