Tips for hiring a Pro

  • How do I choose the right engineering firm?
  • What type of engineer do I need?
  • When do I need engineering services?
  • How can I avoid engineering scams?

Verify credentials

A reputable engineering firm will have licensed professional engineers (PE) with active state registrations. Ask to see their PE license numbers and verify them with your state`s licensing board. Confirm they carry professional liability insurance and are qualified for your specific project type.

Read third-party reviews

Check independent platforms for feedback on their communication, project delivery, and problem-solving abilities. Look for reviews from clients with similar project types—residential, commercial, or industrial. Pay attention to how they handle complex technical challenges and meet deadlines.

Check the work experience

Experienced engineers can show you a portfolio of completed projects similar in scope and complexity to yours. Ask for references from recent clients and discuss their experience with project timelines and budget adherence. Verify they have expertise in local building codes and permitting requirements.

Structural engineering

Needed for foundation design, load-bearing wall removals, building additions, or structural repairs. Structural engineers assess your building`s integrity and design solutions that meet safety codes. Essential for any project affecting your home`s structural support system or major renovations.

Civil engineering

Required for site development, grading, drainage solutions, and land development projects. Civil engineers handle site plans, stormwater management, and ensure proper water flow away from structures. Critical for new construction, property improvements, or addressing drainage issues.

Geotechnical engineering

Necessary when soil conditions affect construction, such as slopes, poor soil, or foundation problems. Geotechnical engineers conduct soil testing and recommend foundation types for your site conditions. Important for hillside homes, areas with expansive soils, or unstable ground.

Building code requirements

Most municipalities require engineered plans for structural changes, additions over certain square footage, or new construction. Removing load-bearing walls, adding second stories, or modifying foundations always need engineering. Check with your local building department about specific requirements before starting work.

Problem solving and repairs

Foundation cracks, settling issues, or structural damage need engineering assessment before repairs. Unusual loading conditions like heavy equipment, solar panel installations, or roof-mounted systems require calculations. Engineering reports provide solutions and give contractors clear direction.

Insurance protection

Engineered plans protect you legally and satisfy insurance requirements for major projects. They ensure work meets safety standards and won`t cause future problems. Banks often require engineering approval for construction loans. Proper engineering documentation increases property value and buyer confidence.

Unlicensed practitioners

Some contractors offer "engineering" services without proper PE licenses, which is illegal and dangerous. Always verify the engineer`s license number directly with your state board. Unlicensed work won`t pass building inspections and leaves you liable for structural failures.

Unrealistic promises

Be skeptical of engineers who guarantee permit approval without reviewing your project thoroughly or who promise to bypass code requirements. Legitimate engineers work within regulations and clearly explain code challenges. They won`t promise outcomes they can`t control like approval timelines.

Incomplete documentation

Watch for engineers who provide minimal drawings, skip calculations, or won`t seal their plans officially. Proper engineering includes detailed stamped and signed drawings with calculations that building departments require. Incomplete plans delay permits and may need expensive revisions by another engineer.
