FAQ
What does a residential structural engineer do?
A residential structural engineer evaluates and designs the structural systems that support a home, addition, remodel, or other residential project.
When should I involve a structural engineer?
Structural engineering is commonly needed when a project changes load-bearing elements, adds floor or roof area, modifies framing, or requires structural calculations and drawings.
Can Melqart coordinate with my architect or contractor?
Yes. Melqart can coordinate structural requirements with the wider project team so engineering decisions align with design intent and construction needs.
