Structural Engineer vs. Foundation Contractor

Structural engineers and foundation contractors can play different roles. The right starting point depends on the problem, complexity, and whether independent engineering analysis is needed.

Call 224-781-0804

Foundation contractor

A foundation repair contractor typically evaluates repairable foundation conditions and proposes systems the company installs. This can be appropriate for common repair situations.

Structural engineer

An engineer may be appropriate when the condition is complex, the cause is disputed, major structural alteration is proposed, or independent design and analysis are needed.

Sometimes both are involved

A contractor may install work based on an engineer’s design, or an engineer may review a proposed repair. Requirements vary by project and local rules.
