Structural Consulting
New Construction
Residential Structures can provide structural consultation to discuss various engineering options for your new build or renovation. Prior to having your structure engineered, Residential Structures P.C. can discuss various options for construction methods and materials to help ensure that your performance requirements and budget are met.
Existing Structures
Are you unsure if a structural deficiency is present in an existing structure? Rather than spend money on an unnecessary field investigation, Residential Structures can discuss the issue with you and help determine if further investigation is required.
Structural Design
Residential
With the increasing complexity in residential house designs and new developments in construction materials and practices it is important to have a structural engineer involved your new construction or renovation project. Residential Structures P.C. will review your plans, size and determine necessary structural members and connections, provide a foundation design, and deliver a plan set sealed by one of our licensed engineers to certify the structural long term performance for that particular lot build. Our knowledge of local building codes will ensure that your plans are in compliance with the current code (including wind bracing, seismic, and flooding requirements) in order to get your plans approved by the local reviewing authority. Our staff has decades of combined experience with residential construction and engineered wood products allowing us to provide cost effective engineering solutions while meeting the performance requirements desired by our customers.
Commercial
Residential Structures is also able to provide structural engineering services for many small scale commercial projects. This includes pre-engineered metal building design services and construction. Call us today to discuss.
Field Investigation Services
Existing Structures
Did you have a home inspection turn up structural issues? Have you noticed significant cracks in your foundation, floors, walls, or ceilings? Do you have a sagging beam or soft spots in your floors? Residential Structures will investigate the situation and issue an engineering letter, sealed by one of our Professional Engineers, which documents the information collected during the investigation as well as our professional assessment of the cause of the problem and our recommended solution.
Framing Inspections
Catching a framing issue early on can potentially save you thousands down the road in costly structural repairs. Prior to insulation, let Residential Structures perform a framing inspection to ensure that the house has been framed in accordance with the structural design drawings and applicable Building Code provisions. After the inspection we will issue a report detailing any framing issues that were discovered and offer repair recommendations if necessary. Having a framing inspection performed on your house will give you peace of mind that your house has been constructed as designed and perform adequately for the life of the structure.
Foundation/Rebar Inspections
Prior to pouring the concrete for your foundation or retaining walls, Residential Structures can perform an inspection to ensure that the footing geometries and rebar placement is in accordance with the foundation drawings. Once it is determined that this prep work meets the plan specs, we will issue a sealed engineering letter to you. Foundation issues can be extremely costly to fix once the house has been constructed, we recommend that you take this simple step to help ensure that what could have been a quick and easy fix prior to the pour does not turn into a major foundation repair down the road.
Site Planning/Permitting
Residential Structures can help you with the planning and permitting of your next project. This includes the preparation of site/grading plans and permitting documents. Call us today to discuss
