Contact a Licensed
Structural Engineer

Contacting a structural engineer does not require you to know the technical answer first. Many clients reach out because something has changed in a home or project and they need help understanding what it means. You may be planning to remove a wall, enlarge an opening, add a room, convert a garage, repair a foundation, investigate a crack, or respond to a building department comment. Contractors may need a beam size, a structural detail, an engineering letter, or help documenting a condition discovered in the field. Share what you know, and CoreStructure will help identify the appropriate next step.

The most useful first message includes the property location, the type of building, and a short description of the planned work or observed concern. Photos are especially helpful when they show the room, the wall or foundation area, nearby openings, visible framing, and the relationship to the floors or roof. If you have architectural plans, surveys, prior inspection reports, permit applications, or plan review comments, you can upload those materials through the consultation form. You do not need to sort everything perfectly before contacting us; a clear overview is enough to begin the conversation.

CoreStructure provides structural inspections, load-bearing wall evaluations, beam and header design, permit drawings and calculations, foundation assessments, structural reports, storm damage evaluations, construction defect assessments, and contractor engineering support. The right service depends on the question being answered. Some projects can be addressed with a focused site visit and engineering letter. Others require calculations and PE-sealed drawings for a permit. A structural inspection or report may be the better starting point when the concern involves cracks, settlement, damage, or a real estate transaction.

CoreStructure aims to respond within one business day, and most residential reports and engineering letters are completed within three to five business days depending on scope and available information. If your project has an active permit deadline, closing date, construction issue, or storm-related concern, include that timing in your message. A direct conversation with the licensed engineer can help you understand the engineering scope, the documents required, and the practical path forward.
