[StBernard] structual engineer

[Westley Annis]

Laurie,
I found this info on nola.com St. Bernard forum and saved it into a Word
file.
 
You need only the opinion of a La. licensed structural engineer that the
stucture is sound after enduring Katrina. That 60 to 100% damage thing was
just a preliminary recommendation. File it at the Gov. Complex within 30
days and be grandfathered in to any future changes. Nothing is etched in
stone right now. Call Tom Reid @ 504-236-4139. He has done houses for my
family for $150 and in just a day or two. We are pleased with his service. 
 
Hope that helps,
Jim York
 




	Can anyone recommend a stuctual engineer we can use to inspect our
property?
	
	We are trying to have that done for the 50% under value of the
property
	thing so we can be grandfathered in for flood elevation by FEMA. I
posted
	this before with no response. Has anyone used and engineer's report
as
	opposed to a contractors estimates? Anyone?? Please respond. We are 
	having problems getting contractors estimates. Thanks.
