Hi:
I was advised that manufactured trusses were expensive, so I designed and built them myself.
The project is a sun-room addition to my home. They are 5 scissored trusses with a span of only eleven (11) feet. They are built with quality and care. I have my hand drawn plans and measuements. The building inspector now wants the drawings stamped by a professional engineer.
Truss manufacturers can do the design in 5 minutes and are not all done by a professioal engineer. The building inspectors accept the drawings simply because they are manufactured in a truss plant.
Can a structural or architectural engineer help me out with this?
Thanks,
Ken
Require a structural engineering to provide report / stamp drawings for removal of interior walls in a 1959 single storey bungalow. This kitchen renovation will remove two interior walls to open the floor plan to the living room and dining area. The intent is to support the roof load with a steel column at the corner of the two existing walls.
Scope of work is to size the new beams, steel column, determine extent of revised load on basement framing. I will be applying for a building permit and will require stamped drawings.
Attached are images to help determine the extent of work.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Require a structural engineering to provide report / stamp drawings for removal of one interior wall in a two storey detached house. The wall would help open up the floor plan.
Scope of work is where would the jacks be moved to in order to support the weight of the home. I am attaching a photo of the wall that needs to be removed on the one side is the dining room while the other side is the kitchen
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Greetings!
My girlfriend and I have just purchased our first home, and while it impressed the home inspectors in a lot of areas, there
was a concern brought up that requires the skills and knowledge of a structural engineer. We also plan to get an egress
window cut into our basement bedroom as well, which I’ve just learned requires an engineered plan in order to get the
permit.
The main point of concern is the deflection of the stucco on the exterior south foundation wall, along with a vertical
bowing of the south foundation wall on the interior.
We do not get possession till April 1st which is when I’ll be able to take the drywall off in order to have a look at the wall
itself. I’ve attached pictures from the home inspection report in regards to the foundation wall issue as well as some shots
from the real estate ad in regards to the egress window.
I’d like to know;
1) What costs are associated with the inspection of the foundation wall?
2) What costs are associated with making a drawing in order to pull a permit for an egress window?
3) What experience does your firm have in regards to dealing with problems caused by residential homes, built in the
1950s, on clay soil, near busy roads?
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello. I have a 1600 sq ft bungalow built in 1979. There were a few small issues with the teleports and the joists that were noticed by the home inspector that he recommended getting a professional to look at. We have been in the house for 3 months and have noticed some cracking a movement in walls that have been freshly painted since we moved in as well as doors that used to work that now stick. I would like to have someone that is VERY experienced at looking at structure and things like this to tell me if there are any minor things that can be done. The teleposts were not secured to the joists with lag bolts, just nails and the plate was too small for the beam. So that is one thing that has to be done.
Thanks
I recently purchased a home built in 1975. According to the home inspection there are two structural issues that need to be addressed. First, the front eaves appears to be missing a support beam. There is a small section that juts out over the driveway that presumably once had a support beam below it. Second, the load bearing wall between the living room and dining room was partially removed and nothing was put in to replace the wall after it was removed. According to the home inspection, no structural problems appear to be present, despite last years heavy snow fall. The two areas obviously need to be thoroughly inspected and supports put in place as required.
Note: a cube van recently backed into the section of the eaves that juts out over the driveway. The damaged soffet and eaves were repaired, so I'm not sure what additional damage was done to the structure as a result of the collision.
House is 1220 square feet bungalow with a living room and bedroom at the front of the house. The front eaves extends about 4 feet from the house and runs about three-quarters of the house (the living room and front door section). The interior wall that was removed is approximately 12 feet long, with another approximately 12 feet still in place.
