LoBosco Engineering provides residential structural engineering for renovations, additions, structural modifications, repairs, and other residential projects throughout the Chicago area and Midwest.
We work with homeowners, contractors, architects, and builders to develop practical structural solutions for both existing homes and new construction.
Structural engineering for additions, remodels, second-story additions, and other modifications to existing homes. We develop practical structural solutions that integrate new construction with existing framing and foundations.
Removing or modifying a load-bearing wall? We design beams, headers, columns, connections, and supports required to create new openings while maintaining a complete structural load path.
Engineering for new foundations, additions, foundation modifications, and structural repairs. Solutions are developed based on the building configuration, loads, existing conditions, and available project information.
Engineering for damaged, deteriorated, improperly modified, or otherwise compromised structural components. We review available conditions and develop repair or reinforcement recommendations when appropriate.
Structural engineering for new and modified decks, balconies, exterior stairs, canopies, and similar residential structures, including framing, connections, foundations, and attachments to existing buildings.
Structural engineering support for architects, contractors, remodelers, and builders throughout design and construction. We can assist with framing concepts, structural modifications, coordination, calculations, details, and field-condition solutions.
