Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a structural engineer cost in St. Louis?
Costs depend on the property, the concern, and whether Hardy is providing a limited visual evaluation, a written engineering report, permit documentation, or a larger commercial scope. The best next step is to contact Hardy Engineers with the property address, photos, inspection notes, and the decision you need to make so the scope can be priced correctly.
Is hiring a structural engineer worth it before repairing a St. Louis property?
Yes, especially when the repair may be expensive or the cause is unclear. An independent structural engineering evaluation can help separate symptoms from root causes before a homeowner, HOA, buyer, seller, or commercial owner commits to a contractor repair plan.
Does St. Louis require engineering documents for permits or inspections?
Permit requirements vary by project type and local review. Many wall removals, additions, decks, foundation repairs, and structural modifications may require drawings, calculations, or a stamped engineering letter. Hardy can review the situation and help determine what documentation is appropriate for the project team or permit reviewer.
Can Hardy help with residential and commercial properties in St. Louis?
Yes. Hardy works with homeowners, buyers, sellers, HOAs, contractors, property managers, investors, and commercial owners. Services may include structural evaluations, foundation inspections, permit letters, property condition assessments, reserve studies, cost segregation studies, and commercial building evaluations.
What should I gather before scheduling a structural evaluation in St. Louis?
Helpful items include the property address, photos of the concern, inspection reports, repair estimates, permit comments, seller disclosure notes, appraiser/lender requests, drawings if available, and a clear explanation of what decision you need to make.
