Structural engineers can address several structural issues like slanted walls, basement moisture, rot damage, and bowsing floors. They can also inspect redesign plans, confirm structural integrity, and recommend solutions to prevent the building from collapsing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Structural engineers can also help with foundation settlement, movement, and soil concerns such as sinkholes. Some of these structural problems are not obvious to untrained eyes. Identifying these deficiencies and fixing them with the help of a professional will prevent these issues from becoming major concerns in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another commonly asked question of clients is what to expect during a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lockatong.com\/new-jersey-commercial-building-inspection-requires-skilled-and-experienced-engineers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">commercial building inspection NJ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Structural engineers examine the building&#8217;s foundation, framing, external walls, and envelope to confirm its structural soundness and code compliance. They can also conduct a more focused assessment of any areas in the building with significant structural concerns. This may involve inspecting the footings, beams, columns, girders, bearing walls, and the roof framing of the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the visual inspection, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lockatong.com\/commercial-building-engineers-are-like-doctors-for-commercial-buildings-infographics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">commercial building engineer NJ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will prepare the compiled data and write an inspection report. This report provides information about the structure&#8217;s current condition and professional advice on solving any identified structural issues. It may also outline possible problems that may appear in the future, given the property&#8217;s existing condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another question that clients ask a structural engineer is the cost of hiring one. A building inspection can cost around $500 to $2,000, depending on the scope of the assessment. Structural engineers may also base the cost around the hours spent inspecting the property rather than a fixed price. The hourly rate for a structural engineer ranges from $125 to $350. Clients can inquire about an estimate for free before hiring a structural engineer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about clients&#8217; frequently asked questions to a structural engineer in construction projects, here is an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lockatong.com\/structural-engineers-answer-clients-top-faqs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">infographic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Lockatong Engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"Structural Engineers Answer Clients\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/scl\/fi\/6libe69a0fltlre3ajui8\/REVISED-Structural-Engineers-Answer-Clients-Top-FAQs.png?rlkey=bssg73rz3klintw2fnwftb72r&amp;dl=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the frequently asked questions a structural engineer receives is what problems they can handle.
