A burst pipe, a house fire, a tree through the roof — when your property is damaged, you need to know it's safe and what happens next. Lebra Engineering & Design gives you a fast, PE-led structural inspection, clear documentation, and a trusted contractor to put it right. One call, one coordinated path.
Urgent safety concerns prioritized · walk-through from $800.
Tell us the property, the type of damage, and how urgent it is — we respond fast and prioritize safety concerns.
Surface damage is easy to see; structural damage often isn't. Before you sign a restoration contract, a licensed engineer can tell you what's visibly affected — and give you a clear, documented plan.
Every damage inspection is an on-site visual assessment by a licensed engineer. Need precise documentation? 3D LiDAR scanning is available as a separate, fast-turnaround add-on.
Send us the property, the damage type, and a photo. Urgent safety concerns get priority scheduling.
A licensed engineer walks the areas water and fire typically affect — foundations, floor joists & rim boards, framing, load-bearing walls, and roof trusses — with a verbal report during the visit. 3D LiDAR scanning is available as an optional add-on.
You get a clear, PE-stamped assessment and, when needed, stamped drawings for the structural repairs.
We connect you with a vetted Massachusetts contractor to perform the work — and stay available for structural questions.
No surprises. Here's what a typical single-family inspection costs.
On-site visual walk-through of a typical single-family home — foundations, floor joists & rim boards, framing, load-bearing walls, and roof trusses that are readily visible and accessible — with a verbal report and recommendations during the visit.
A formal, documented report (photos, findings, and recommendations) for insurance, legal, permitting, or other purposes — PE-stamped where required.
The walk-through is a limited, visual, non-invasive structural inspection — we assess only what is readily visible and accessible. It does not include destructive or invasive investigation (no cutting, coring, or opening of finishes), testing, or evaluation of concealed, hidden, or inaccessible conditions, and it is not a home inspection, code-compliance certification, warranty, or guarantee. Findings are based on conditions observed at the time of the visit. Anything beyond the walk-through — a written report, 3D LiDAR scanning, repair-design drawings, or further investigation — is a separate, optional service, quoted separately. If a situation calls for expertise outside our scope, we'll say so and refer you to the right specialist — we don't take on work we can't deliver.
Larger or more complex? These are our standard fees for a single-family home within the described scope. For larger properties, commercial buildings, complex damage, or additional services such as full 3D LiDAR modeling or detailed repair plans, send us your scope of work and we'll prepare a precise proposal within 24 hours.
Send Us Your Scope → Proposal in 24 HoursOur engineering stays objective — your report says exactly what your structure needs, independent of who does the work. As a convenience, we connect you with vetted Massachusetts restoration and roofing contractors we trust, so you're never left wondering who to call next.

"As a remodeling contractor, having a structural engineer I can actually count on makes all the difference, and that's exactly what we've had with Marcelo and George at Lebra Engineering & Design. We've worked with them for over three years and they're our go-to on every project that needs structural support. They're responsive, efficient, and — most importantly — genuinely available when we need them. Remodels never go exactly to plan, and more than once we've hit a surprise after demo that meant rethinking the structural approach. Every time, Marcelo and George have jumped in quickly to help us modify the plan and keep the job moving. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Highly recommend them to any contractor or homeowner who needs structural engineering done right."
"Efficient and Effective Load-Bearing Wall Removal I recently hired Lebra Engineering to design a steel beam for a load-bearing wall removal project with a 26' - 6" span. I was thoroughly impressed with their service from start to finish. They prepared the necessary drawings and calculation reports for my building permit application with remarkable efficiency. Within a few short days, I had all the documentation I needed. Their work was professional, accurate, and clearly demonstrated their expertise in structural engineering. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lebra Engineering to anyone needing structural design services. Their combination of speed, quality, and expertise made the entire process smooth and stress-free."
