What to Expect During Your Inspection

Step 1: Project Consultation

We review your architectural plans, contractor sketches, or general vision, and perform an on-site assessment to measure existing framing and load paths.

Step 2: Structural Calculations

We perform the complex math required to size beams, posts, and footings to meet current building codes and safely support your home’s unique loads.

Step 3: Professional Engineering Report

You receive official, PE-stamped structural drawings and specifications. Hand these directly to your contractor or the permit office to keep your project moving without delays.

Why Choose an Independent Engineer?

The “Guesswork” Approach

Many contractors or DIY homeowners try to “oversize” a beam and guess structural requirements to save time. This often leads to sagging floors, cracking drywall, or—worst of all—a “stop work” order from the county inspector when the project lacks the proper engineering permits.

Brentwood Solutions Group

Many foundation and repair companies rely on sales quotas. Because they profit directly from the construction work, there is a built-in conflict of interest, which can result in high-pressure sales pitches for expensive piering or basement systems you may not actually need.
