"I found Devendra on HomeAdvisor when I was remodeling my home last year. I need a structural engineer for windows opening, resizing bathrooms, and bedrooms. The structural planning reports are needed for obtaining city permits and the later remodeling work. My project was on a tight schedule, so I was looking for someone who can act fast, professionally, and diligently. Devendra satisfies every aspect of my requirements, and the price is also affordable. He is very professional. He helped submit structural planning reports to get the permit in a timely manner, offered advice following up on my projects. I enjoy working with him, and would highly recommend him not only for his price point but also for the great service he provided. Thank you so much for your help."

".We were completely satisfied with the job Sezen and Moon Structural Engineering did for us. From the initial off the street unplanned meeting with them, several iterations of drawings to accommodate changes to their being available to answer questions raised during the city's approval process. We could not be happier with the work they did for us. After reviewing our plans the city inspector commented to us about how knowledgeable our structural engineers were. <br />"

"We highly recommend SOD Home Group for any large construction project. After finishing my excellent research about them, we hired them to make some significantly large repairs to our home. Oren was very up front about what needed to be done, and he listened to our concerns and ideas of what we need and want and then came up with a super detailed plan of what needed to be done. We found Oren as a very honest, professional, easy to work with person, competent, and extremely knowledgeable about his trades. Oren was present and working with his teams almost all the time they were present. Oren always answered his phone right away whenever we had questions (and believe us we had so many questions and comments). Our repairs and construction job required expertise in many aspects of construction at our home. From framing, waterproofing, stucco, structural repairs, tile work, drywall painting etc. all of which got done in a great and timely manner. We do a lot of our own repairs , and have had many contractors doing projects too, but we found SOD Home Group to be by far the best construction company we have ever seen or worked with. Their prices are fair, their work is excellent, on time, clean and the quality is fantastic. Oren is knowledgeable about whatever he is working on and always kept me updated on whatever aspect of the job he was working on. A wonderful person to work with. If you want a job completed with no stress and the assurance you are getting it done right, then we feel strongly that SOD Home Group is the one to call."

"Leo and his crew installed a new attic ladder and renovated the attic so that I can use it as storage space. They put in electricity and lighting, as well as a circulating fan. The workers are punctual, clean and respectful. And most of all, they take pride in what they do. I don't know how many times they said: "I want to do it right". I appreciate that. The prices are more than reasonable and competitive in my book. I have used this company before, and will do so again."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Stanford, CA

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.
