We regularly help homeowners, builders, and remodelers with their residential engineering needs. Our process allows us to estimate your engineering services within 1 business day with basic information and 2-3 pictures. We can usually have someone out to your home within 1-2 days of first contact and will usually have the engineering documents in hand within 1-2 days from the site visit.
Load Bearing Wall Company is in the unique position to be able to offer structural engineering services and structural installation services in Minneapolis MN. This means that our designs are informed by our years of real-world installation experience. Your structural system will be as easy to install as possible and will be specified using commonly available materials and hardware.
Structural Engineering Minneapolis
We are familiar with the rules, regulations, and permit requirements in the city of Minneapolis. Local government regulations and permitting processes can be complex and time-consuming. We can help streamline this process due to our extensive experience in dealing with these issues.
What we do
We devise safe and practical engineering solutions customized for your specific remodeling or repair project. Our structural engineering services package includes:
- Site visit by a licensed engineer
- Load and structure analysis
- Engineering design (if modifications are contemplated)
- Documentation (you will likely need this for a permit)
What makes us different
Our approach to engineering comes down to two questions:
- Will the design be absolutely safe?
- Is there a simpler solution suitable for this situation?
Engineering firms serving hundreds of clients across a wide range of conditions rightfully focus on the first question. They cannot, however, be expected to spend too much time on the second.
For them, customizing each design for the most efficient implementation would require (a) construction experience, and (b) an investment of time that would raise the price of design.
This approach saves on the cost of engineering. Sadly, the built project often ends up being more disruptive and expensive than if it were optimally engineered, to begin with.
Our engineering solutions are more than just physics and building codes. Beyond the obvious attention to safety and durability, we devise solutions based on the simplicity of implementation, using materials that are solid and readily available — a project delayed by hard-to-fabricate components is no fun. We think about how we will move our team and heavy materials through your home. Our solutions take into account how to minimize dust and debris. We think through how the engineering will affect your whole project after we have completed our part.
We are easy to work with.
