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.
