"TDA took on our small remodel project in November of 2009. Our plans were approved by the City with no changes or questions ( unheard of in our city). In mid construction, a short on a lumber order, could have delayed the construction for a week. TDA offered a structural change option with avalible lumber, resulting in no delays and the project was completed on time. Always accessible and great to work with, we will be using TDA on furture projects."

"The Job went perfectly.
 Beau did an impeccable job attaching the conservatory to the main house without any dust or  construction debri entering the home.  He cleaned up every day after work. He kept the exact hours he said he would work. He kept the job on schedule.
He worked with the city on all the permitting and inspections.
The quality of workmanship was well beyond my expectations and became the envy of everyone who saw the finished room.
Beau came in right on bid. NO COST OVER RUNS!

I would highly recommend him for any job from building an entire home to remodeling that garage you have been putting off for a while."

"I worked with Design Everest (Josh) when I needed to bring to code some unpermitted work on my home that had been altered prior to 1978. Design Everest was prompt to supply drawings of the structural work required. When my contractor found existing conditions that called for the engineers to review their plan, DE was very quick to review those existing conditions, change the plans and write cover letters (twice) to the City inspectors describing and confirming 'as built conditions' met code were sufficient from the original build. I am very happy with the end result, and although I questioned the cost of their bid at the onsite, I believe that what was discovered during construction and with the changes made, the cost turned out to be worth it the expense. I highly recommend using this firm."

"John and his crew at Momentum AE were wonderful from start to finish. John helped me design my first residential home and ADU (accessory dwelling unit) in Santa Cruz. His knowledge of architecture and engineering made the design portion of the home a breeze. 

I would recommend Momentum AE to anyone that is looking for an Architect/Engineer/Real Estate Brokerage in Santa Cruz. I can officially say Momentum AE is a one stop shop when it comes to residential or commercial development 

Thanks again John!!!!!"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Woodacre, 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.
