"In renovating our beach cottage in Warwick, RI we found the roof needed structural work. Building inspector required a structural engineered plan. Adam was easy to communicate with. He was timely with his plan and follow up inspection. He was also available by text and phone for questions during the project. He was great to work with!"

I will use his services for any issues or projects I have in the future and would highly recommend him to those needing an engineer."

"After an unusual situation arose at my home, I was concerned about the possibility of structural damage caused by drilling and new construction at an adjacent lot. After receiving a recommendation for Veitas Engineers from a trusted source, I called and scheduled an appointment. I am so thankful that I did. I continue to be impressed with the amount of time that the two engineers spent at my house, closely inspecting the exterior and interior. Within days, I received a 16-page detailed report which included drawings, photographs, recommendations, and action items. I was so pleased when I saw that the action items were categorized as structural and non-structural, that is, that the engineers included items beyond my actual structural concerns. I used the report when working with a contractor to follow up on the recommendations and action items. The contractor was impressed with the quality, clarity, and scope of the report. I am so happy that I chose Veitas Engineers!"

"We had the pleasure of working with D. A. Kinsella Company to develop concept designs for a new home addition. Their architectural team was quick, professional, and came up with many detailed ideas to help ensure that we were happy with the design. David successfully coordinated with the city to determine project requirements early in the design phase, which was very helpful and saved us valuable time and effort. We highly recommend David to any homeowner considering a home redesign or new addition...!"

"My meeting with Bruce went very well. I have had 8 companies come out to bid for this job. Bruce and Pier Magic are clearly at the top of their field. I have a full report from a Structural Engineer, Dennis Sieg. This has helped all of the foundation companies with their analysis of my home. Bruce and Pier Magic are very knowledgeable about the work they do. I would trust them to do the work. The estimate I received is right in line with the other foundation companies I have acquired quotes from. This company seemed like the most knowledgeable and responsible. I have not had this work done yet. The range of quotes for this work is $13,000-$18,000. Pier Magic is at the top of my list because I feel I can trust them the most. Their quote is $16,500. This is reasonable for this type of work with a reputable company like Pier Magic. I will put out a review when the work is completed, by whomever I choose to do the work. <br />"

They added a master bath, renovated a guest bath, added a back door and stairs, some new windows, opened up the kitchen and refinished the large basement. All the work was done within budget and of high quality. We highly recommend this company"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Newton Center, MA

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.
