Get quotes from multiple licensed PEs and compare. Look for: (1) Clear pricing with scope breakdown, (2) Active California PE license (verify at bpelsg.ca.gov), (3) Experience with Long Beach building department, (4) References from similar projects. Lowest price isn't always best value—factor in revisions, communication, and experience.

Be cautious of prices significantly below market rates. Unlicensed practitioners, inexperienced engineers, or those cutting corners may offer low prices but create problems: failed plan checks, inadequate designs, or no PE stamp. "Affordable" should mean competitive pricing from qualified professionals—not the absolute cheapest option regardless of qualifications.

Typical Long Beach structural engineering costs: $400-$800 for simple assessments, $800-$2,000 for wall removal calculations, $2,000-$5,000 for ADU plans, $2,500-$6,000 for additions. Prices vary by project complexity. Get 2-3 quotes to ensure you're getting competitive pricing.

Yes—if they're properly licensed and experienced. "Affordable" reflects efficient operations and appropriate pricing, not lower quality. Always verify PE license, check references, and ensure plans meet building department requirements. Our affordable pricing comes from experience and efficiency, not shortcuts.
