For Homeowners
As a homeowner, you might need to engage a structural engineer for projects that affect the safety, stability, or integrity of your home. Engineers are crucial for ensuring that renovations, additions, or repairs comply with local building codes and are structurally sound. A structural engineer can inform your designs or guide your proposals to ensure your home can safely accommodate these changes.
Hiring an engineer provides you with the peace of mind of knowing your project is professionally analyzed and backed by the expertise required to protect your investment and ensure long-term safety.
Engineering Certification
Most municipalities require an engineer’s certification - often referred to as an “Engineer’s stamp” - as part of a Building Permit application if the project details deviate from local regulations or governing codes. This certification serves as an essential assurance of compliance and safety. SLE can assist you in verifying the integrity of a proposal and provide the necessary certification to help satisfy building regulations, without compromising on your vision.
