FAQ
Get Clarity on Structural Engineering: Answers to Your Most Common Questions
Why do I need a structural engineer if my contractor can handle the construction?
In Utah, structural engineers ensure your project meets the state’s unique building codes and safety standards, especially with Utah’s diverse climate—from heavy snowfall to seismic activity. While contractors manage the construction process, structural engineers focus on the critical details like load-bearing capacities and foundation stability, preventing costly oversights that could delay your project or lead to structural failure
How much does hiring a structural engineer cost?
In Utah, hiring a structural engineer typically costs between $300 and $1,500, depending on your project’s size and complexity. For example, a foundation inspection in Salt Lake or Utah County might cost $300 to $600, but investing in local expertise helps prevent future structural issues that could be far more expensive to repair. For new house plans, the cost is about 1-2% of construction, so plan $2 per square foot.
How long does a structural assessment take?
For most projects in Utah, a structural assessment can be completed within a few days, though larger developments in areas like Park City or Salt Lake City may take longer. We work quickly to ensure your project stays on schedule, even during the region’s construction season.
Can you help with load-bearing wall removal during my remodel?
Absolutely. For Utah homes, whether in the Wasatch Front or the mountain areas of Park City, we assess load-bearing walls to ensure safe removal or modification. We ensure all changes comply with Utah’s local building codes, keeping your remodel structurally sound.
How do I know if I need a structural assessment?
In Utah, signs like foundation cracks, uneven floors, or bowing walls—especially common in areas with clay soil or seismic activity—indicate you should schedule a structural assessment. Additionally, if you’re remodeling in cities like Lehi or Draper, getting an assessment ensures your changes won’t compromise your home’s safety.
What areas do you serve?
At Anderson Engineering, we proudly serve the entire Utah region, including Utah County, Salt Lake County, Davis County, Weber County, Summit County, and Wasatch County. Whether you’re in the Wasatch Front or the Park City area, our team is familiar with Utah’s unique geographic and environmental challenges, from seismic considerations to extreme weather conditions.
Our deep understanding of local building codes, regulations, and terrain enables us to provide tailored structural engineering solutions that ensure safety and compliance across all project types—from residential homes to large commercial developments.
How much is engineering for my house plans?
Engineering costs for house plans typically range from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the project’s size and complexity. This price reflects the detailed work required to ensure your home is structurally sound and complies with local building codes.
It’s important not to skimp on structural engineering—any upfront savings could lead to issues during construction, potentially costing you ten times more in repairs or delays. Quality engineering from the start ensures that your project will run smoothly and stay within budget.
How much is engineering for my steel-frame building?
The cost of structural engineering for a steel-frame building usually ranges from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the building’s size and complexity. For larger commercial steel-frame projects, fees may be a percentage of the total construction cost, typically between 0.5% and 2.5%.
Investing in proper structural engineering upfront is critical to avoid costly issues during construction. Cutting corners can lead to expensive rework, as any structural mistakes can cause significant delays and safety concerns, potentially inflating your final costs.
