About Structural Engineering & Construction

Structural Engineering & Construction is a one-person business in Los Angeles listed under structural engineers, with 15 years in business. It works on residential property, and its hours run from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm every day.

The listing covers repairs, remodels, attached and detached additions, and new buildings. Services named include load-bearing wall work, foundations, interior support, structural repair, inspections and stamped drawings.

In Los Angeles, structural work is shaped by earthquakes. Removing or opening a load-bearing wall needs a correctly sized beam and posts and often new footings, and the city or county usually requires engineered, stamped drawings with the permit application. Detached additions such as accessory dwelling units are common in LA, and each needs its own foundation and framing design. Older homes on raised foundations may need seismic retrofitting, such as bolting the house to its foundation and bracing cripple walls. Hillside lots bring their own requirements for foundations and retaining walls.

Before you contact Structural Engineering & Construction, gather any existing plans, photos of the area and a short description of the project or problem. If you are working with an architect or contractor, mention them. Ask whether a site visit is included, what the drawings will show, and whether calculations and plan check responses are part of the fee.
