Most clients prefer to hire a home structural engineer service whether it is retrofitting or new construction. Starting any construction work with proper structural inspection has many benefits, including safety and savings. Especially in an earthquake prone region like San Francisco, buildings must employ best fortifying measures. Structural integrity depends both on construction materials and design. In fact, the design is more important because a structural flaw is vulnerable largely irrespective of the material.
Last year, the city council of San Francisco made it mandatory for all building owners (commercial & residential) to conduct a structural survey. Currently, retrofitting work is in progress at many places in the city. Daly City firm HCSE has been handling multiple projects simultaneously. “We have very competent professionals in our home structural engineer team. Our experts are trained not to hurry but look at the details of structural integrity. We provide an uncompromising report.”
The ace engineer explained that buildings fall during earthquakes mainly overcome by the lateral force from a shaking ground. Of course, if a crack appears, then even the strongest buildings can fall. “However, we should always prepare for the best. Prayers seem to work during natural disasters. You can always see those stories of miraculously being saved. On your part, you make the foundation strong. If the construction is weak, the prayers may not work!”
The home structural engineer service uses the latest Business Information Modeling or BIM protocol. This is an upgrade over the traditional CAD. BIM allows the planner to devise a detailed digital structural to scale, and step by step, carefully avoiding any flaws in the design. “BIM modeling helps us to offer the best construction solutions and minimize extra expenditure on materials,” Mr. Chowdhry explained.
