"Structures R Us was a pleasure to work with. We hired them to determine whether our garage was structural sound. The engineer was professional and experienced. He was on time, kept in close communication before and after the analysis, and provided a written report within 12 hours of the visit."

"I had a great experience working with Omid Gharavi of OGV Structural Engineering for structural engineering permit services for my home in Baltimore. He was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The drawings he prepared and stamped, along with the engineering letter, were approved by the county without issue, allowing me to move forward with my home project. I truly appreciate his expertise and would highly recommend his services."

"We had structural issues and didn’t know where to start. Jeffery is an excellent engineer for the job. He was very cordial, communicative and upfront with what he intended to do, the inspection was thorough and he did a few tests to make sure he was getting to the heart of our problem. He was able to scope the issue and give us a detailed breakdown of how to proceed during our consultation and a written report a week after. His rate is unbeatable and the most affordable in the game. Definitely highly recommend his service for any structural inspection."

"Our 40-year old home has developed several interior and exterior cracks over the years. I hired Design Depictions to understand their causes and make sure we do not have a structural (e.g. foundation) problem before addressing the cosmetic issues. Michael spent far more time than I expected discussing, reviewing, and analyzing these issues. One of the cracks formed in my daughter’s room shortly after we renovated the house in 2008. The architect and builder were not able to diagnose the issue on this non-weight-bearing wall, but Michael came up with an explanation very quickly based on the location of the wall relative to the joists. It’s so nice to have this mystery finally solved! Michael followed up the meeting with a detailed analysis describing the causes and remedies for the cracks he observed. I couldn’t be more pleased with Design Depictions. I will definitely recommend and use their services again."

"I contacted this firm with some significant questions about a home I was considering purchasing--primarily about issues concerning the crawl space of the home. I had very little time to make some major decisions about the property. On very short notice, Bo Ward, P.E., the principal of Structural Elements, made arrangements meet with me on his day off--which was also a major holiday. Needless to say, I was surprised and incredibly grateful that he was willing to make the time for me. He spent several hours looking over the scope of the problem, took several photos, and prepared a high-quality report, which was very helpful to me in taking next steps. <br /> In many years of hiring various professionals to undertake different tasks, Mr. Ward's professionalism, punctuality, thoroughness, expertise, honesty, and simple willingness to be helpful truly stand out. He is great at what he does and has impeccable character. I would highly recommend Mr. Ward and his firm. He did not do a design project for me, but I am hopeful that if I am ever constructing a home from scratch that he will be available to work on the project. <br />"

"John was hired as our general contractor. Was in charge of demoing our old house. Running all new utilities from the street to house. Foundation perp. and all the drainage/pumps, concrete floor. Helped set the house and everything that was involved in that. (Lots of work). They did the heating a/c, water heater, all electric hookups, porches, bilco basement doors, tiled bathrooms, graded and seeded the yard, driveway. We spent several months working with John and his people. Nothing but great things to say. They can take care of anything and everything needed."

"They came on schedule. They were efficient and explained the features of our new doors. We are very happy with the quality of work and of our doors. I was pleased that shortly after the installers were done a quality control inspector/manager came around and checked out all the work and, if I remember correctly, asked us some questions and if we had any questions. A pleasant experience all around."

"Tom responded promptly to my inquiry through Angie's List. He is a a structural "Professional Engineer" and also a member of the NSPE. They are of the highest caliber. Although I went with the contractor's PE, Tom was very easy to deal with and honest about pricing and how he works on assessing matters for insurance agencies. If I had another need for a structural engineer, I wouldn't hesitate to call him back."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Woodlawn, MD

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.
