What We Do

Services

Whatever you’re building or worried about, you get a clear answer and drawings that pass the first time, so you’re not losing time or money on a redo.

Structural Design & Analysis

Building new, adding on, or renovating? You get stamped, engineered drawings your contractor can build from and the township will approve.

Structural Assessments

Worried about cracks, sagging floors, or foundation issues? I inspect, assess, and explain exactly what’s going on, and how to fix it.

Forensic Engineering

When something fails or doesn’t add up, I figure out why and put it in writing. You get documentation you can stand behind in a claim or a sale.

Construction Drawings & Drafting

Permit sets and builder-ready 2D and 3D drawings, accurate enough that nobody’s guessing out on site.

Good Questions

FAQ

Do I need a structural engineer to remove a wall?

If it might be load-bearing, yes. Most townships require a stamped drawing first. I confirm it and design the beam to carry the load.

How much does a structural engineer cost?

Depends on the job, a quick assessment is on the low end, full stamped drawings cost more. You get a fixed price up front.

How fast can you get me drawings or a report?

Usually days, not weeks, faster when you’re on a permit or sale deadline.

Will your drawings pass my township’s permit?

Yes. I design to current PA and local code, stamped to pass the first time.

Is the crack in my wall something serious?

Some are cosmetic, some aren’t. Send a photo or book a look and I’ll tell you straight.

What areas do you serve?

The greater Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia suburbs, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and nearby.

Do I need a structural engineer, or just a contractor?

An engineer tells you what is actually wrong and what the right fix is, then your contractor does the work. Getting the engineer first means you do not pay for the wrong repair, and most townships require an engineer’s stamped drawings for structural work anyway.

What is a conformance letter, and when do I need one?

It is a signed letter from a licensed engineer stating a structure or repair meets requirements. Townships, banks, and insurers often ask for one, and they come up a lot in home sales. I inspect, then issue it.
