Foundation Repair Verification

After a foundation repair, you want to be assured that the work was done correctly. Our licensed structural engineers will verify that the repair plans were properly followed and ensure that your foundation is structurally sound.
We conduct a detailed inspection of the repaired areas, review previous engineering reports and assess for any signs of ongoing movement. We will provide you an engineer-stamped report which includes findings and photos.

Foundation Inspection With engineering Report

We understand that foundation issues are often the number one concern for homeowners—particularly in Texas. Our team of inspectors, equipped with extensive training in structural engineering, take the time to thoroughly map and measure your foundation and provide pass-fail reports within 48-72 hours. In many cases, even if problems are present, inspectors fail to communicate what does and does not require intervention. Our inspectors can eliminate that guesswork—or call on one of our expert structural engineers for an immediate second opinion. Not only will our team provide you with clear, proactive solutions—our complimentary repair estimator will also give you transparency into the cost of deficiencies, which we will help you negotiate.

Load Bearing Wall Evaluation

When it comes to your property’s stability, load-bearing walls play a pivotal role by supporting and distributing the building’s weight from the roof to the foundation. Adjusting or removing these walls is an undertaking that calls for a professional, licensed structural engineer’s insight. If you’re planning a remodel or expansion and need to confirm whether a wall is load-bearing, GreenWorks Engineering & Design is here to help. Our team provides thorough evaluations, offering you clear, actionable advice tailored to your project’s needs. Don’t leave your property’s safety to chance—reach out to GreenWorks Engineering & Design for a load-bearing wall evaluation today.

Foundation Adequacy

Your building’s foundation is the key to its strength and security. That’s why ensuring its adequacy is non-negotiable. At GreenWorks Engineering & Design, we know the importance of a solid base, and our engineering team offers a thorough evaluation to confirm your foundation’s stability. With advanced assessment tools and a deep understanding of structural needs, we go beyond a quick check to provide real assurance that your foundation can handle the load—safely and efficiently. Experience peace of mind, long-term stability, and cost savings with GreenWorks Engineering & Design foundation adequacy inspection.

Commercial Structure Review

GreenWorks Engineering & Design offers thorough commercial structure reviews to ensure your building meets the highest standards of safety and stability. Our services cover every critical aspect of commercial properties, including structural analysis, foundation evaluations, load-bearing wall assessments, framing, and roof structure inspections. Whether your building is steel or wood-framed, we verify that its foundation and structural integrity are sound and compliant with current codes. From assessing load-bearing walls for space reconfiguration to confirming framing capacity for new HVAC systems, GreenWorks Engineering & Design provides reliable insight and actionable recommendations tailored to your project’s needs.

Steel Framing Review

Steel framing is crucial in providing the strength and durability needed to support your building’s structure. Our steel framing review ensures your project is built to last. We use your structural drawings and precise calculations to verify that the steel framing design is ideal for the intended load-bearing capacities and structural requirements. Our experienced team scrutinizes the connections between steel members, ensuring they can handle the forces and stresses they’ll face.

During our verification inspection, we don’t just look at the final product; we review the entire installation process to ensure your steel framing is erected accurately and aligns with the approved plans. This careful attention to detail guarantees the integrity of your structure and gives you peace of mind.

Retaining Walls

Analyzing retaining walls is crucial for maintaining your landscape and preventing costly damage. Because these walls help manage soil erosion, control water flow, and protect your foundation from potential intrusions. Without proper analysis, structural problems could arise that may affect your home and outdoor space. Our structural engineers analyze the retaining wall’s current condition and determine if engineered plans are required. We also check for soil erosion that could lead to future problems.

Wondering if Your Structure’s Solid?

Framing Review VS Framing Verification

Framing review – We verify load calculations and mark any areas of concern to ensure your safety and satisfaction. In addition, if the framing and loads are inaccurate per code, we can provide plans to ensure your framing is in proportion with the standards of your city codes.

Framing Verification – Our licensed structural engineers thoroughly review your framing plans, checking for adequate materials and design – thus verifying its compliance.

Pre-pour Evaluations

Before you pour the concrete, it’s absolutely necessary to ensure that the reinforcements, depth, proper materials, and footings are per the engineered plans and meet the code. Otherwise, you may have foundational or structural issues later. Our engineers note any deficiencies and recommend corrections.

Once the corrections are made, we reevaluate before the construction continues – ensuring you have a solid foundation for your property.

Mobile Home Letters (HUD)

Simplify FHA or HUD loan approval for your mobile home with our Mobile Home Letter service. Our thorough inspection checks for properly placing tie-downs and piers beneath your mobile home. We also confirm that your home hasn’t been relocated and that any additional structures, like decks or porches, remain structurally independent.

After that, our engineers craft a detailed letter outlining your compliance status with FHA or HUD loan requirements. Should your property fall short, our letter provides clear directives on rectifying any issues and meeting the necessary criteria.

You can request a revised letter once you’ve addressed the mentioned issues.

WPI-8 & TDI Inspections

Texas has had severe weather, and its coast is no exception. As a matter of fact, living along the Texas coast requires preparedness for hurricane season, and the Texas Department of Insurance has adopted stricter construction requirements as of 2020.

Whether you are constructing a new home, replacing the roof, or making other major changes, an inspection by a licensed engineer is important to ensure code adherence. Our team of licensed engineers will conduct your inspection and submit the results to TDI for a certificate of compliance.
