  • Chris F.

    Project: Analyze a Structural Issue (Structural Engineer)

    Jacob Schott Of Solid Framing Engineering was/is phenomenal is his support as a structural engineer. Mr. Schott listened, and heard, what the requirements were. He proposed acceptable, structurally engineered solutions in a timely, professional and thorough manner. We hired Jacob Schott Of Solid Framing Engineering to aid in ensuring that residential new build actions would adhere to structural safety & longevity standards. Our requirements consisted of a rather large deck, a bridge (12?x29?) with a cover/portico section and exaggerated soffits. All these requirements were in Mid-coast Maine where significant winds, attacking from various directions, are prevalent and cause for multi-axis planning to control potential environmental considerations. Mr. Schott continued to provide engineering advice/direction after the sub contractor failed to adhere to specifications and induced the need for modified engineering solutions?even after having concluded the initial scope of work.

  • Ed H.

    Comments: He designed an opening in our basement wall for an egress window to be installed by others. He was careful to make sure his design would not be detrimental to the structural integrity of our building. He completed his drawings on time. We are pleased with is design.
