PROPOSED RENOVATION PROJECTS:
If you are planning on renovating your home and it involves removing or cutting into load-bearing walls, adding living space utilizing a 2nd story attic renovation or addition with great rooms containing wide open spaces (no supports), a structural engineering consultation is warranted. If you are extending your living quarters, you will require design and engineering for permit documents. Your local building department may require a licensed, professional engineer stamp any new construction or major renovation.

Complicated structures and/or projects involving older homes (constructed before 1970 common in the OKC metro) may also require input from a structural engineer. Often, homes constructed before 1960s-70s were built without prescriptive building methods used today by contractors. Now, local building and state codes are in place to ensure contractors and home builders follow a set of pre-determined guidelines for building a new home. A licensed, structural engineer is the best professional to assess the viability of any significant home renovation project. A site visit can be conducted to evaluate potential, structural issues.
