Structural Support You Can Trust — Delivered by Verified Experts
What Are Engineering Services in Construction?
Engineering services are a critical part of any construction, remodeling, or addition project. Whether you’re building a new structure, modifying a load-bearing wall, adding a second story, or retrofitting a foundation, you’ll likely need a licensed structural engineer to review and sign off on your plans.
Engineering services ensure that your project is:
Structurally sound
Code-compliant
Safe for occupancy
Approved for permits and inspections
Why You Might Need an Engineer
Not all projects require engineering — but many do. City and county building departments may require stamped engineering plans or structural calculations for:
New construction
Room additions or second stories
ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units)
Foundation work or repairs
Retaining walls
Roof modifications
Seismic retrofits (especially in Los Angeles)
Attempting to submit plans without the right engineering documents can delay or even derail your project.
