Exterior foundation and site inspection

We examine the exterior foundation for cracking, bulging, or leaning. We also check site grading, drainage, and signs of erosion as part of the analysis.

Floor levels and existing cracks

We measure relevant floor levels and cracks, then document the observed conditions with photographs and field notes. This gives you a record of the conditions we find during the inspection.

Beam options

We work with flitch beams and LVL beams for load-bearing wall removal design.

Analysis cost

Load-bearing wall analysis costs $250 to $1,000 per wall. This is the analysis price, not a quote for wall removal or beam installation.

FAQs

Can ChatGPT do structural analysis?

ChatGPT can explain basic concepts and suggest typical beam sizes, but it cannot perform site-specific engineering calculations, verify field conditions, or stamp drawings. Structural analysis requires licensed professional judgment, measured loads, material properties, and code compliance that AI cannot legally or reliably provide for construction decisions.

What is the difference between an architectural engineer and a structural engineer?

An architectural engineer focuses on building systems such as HVAC, lighting, and acoustics while coordinating overall design. A structural engineer specializes in the load-bearing frame, foundations, and lateral forces. Both may work on the same project, but only the structural engineer calculates beams, columns, and foundations for safety and code compliance.

What does a structural engineer do?

They evaluate how a building carries loads, inspect foundations and framing, and design or review beams, columns, and connections. For renovations they confirm load paths, calculate required sizes, and provide stamped drawings. They also document existing conditions with measurements and photos to support permits, repairs, or insurance claims.
