Structural Engineering

Framing, foundations, load paths and the structural design behind what gets built.

Structural work covers everything holding a building up — foundations, framing, beams, headers and the load path connecting them. On existing buildings it also means establishing what is already there and what it can carry.

Common questions

Can I remove this wall?

That depends on whether it carries load, and on what happens to the load path if it goes. Both are answerable from a site visit.

What is a structural letter?

A sealed opinion that a structure can carry a specific load — commonly required for solar, rooftop equipment or a change in use.
