How can hiring a qualified Professional Engineer help my project?
Many people in the “industry” seam to think that hiring a licensed Professional Engineer is unnecessary and a waste of time and money. Well, this is factually not true IF the Professional Engineer is given the opportunity to HELP the designer, owner, and/or contractor at the appropriate stage in the process. To bring the engineer on board only AFTER things have been decided positions the engineer as a “necessary evil” who is needed just to get the permit.
