Load bearing wall assessment
Complete Building Solutions can provide you with you with a thorough load bearing wall inspection to help you obtain a building permit. A report identifying the wall’s function (ie load bearing or non-load bearing) will be provided. Upon request, a scope of work for wall removal and/or installation of a new structural system can be provided.
Settling or Cracks
Have you noticed ceiling/wall cracks or movement within your home? These types of issues can be indicative of structural issues. Complete Building Solutions can provide a structural engineering inspection and a report depicting the findings. A scope of repairs (if necessary) can also be provided upon request.
Structural defect
Structural defects can be the result of poor workmanship or faulty design.
Signs of structural defects are:
- Sticky doors and windows
- Crumbling or cracking foundation
- Wall & ceiling cracks
- Bowing walls or sagging ceilings or floors
- Steps pulling away from the house
Finding the best forensic engineering partner to help combat these defects is paramount. Our team has worked on some of the largest construction defect cases in Minnesota; there is no other firm that matches our unique construction expertise and capabilities. Ask us how we can help you!
Footing or Beam Sizing
Ensuring the load calculations are right behind your project is imperative. If your remodel changes the loads in your home, you may need to re-size beams or install larger footings. Complete Building Solutions can perform an inspection, calculations, and a report depicting the correct sizings of the required structural members.
