What Does It Mean to Be a Certified Structural Engineer in NC?

A licensed structural engineer in North Carolina holds a professional engineer (PE) license from NCBELS, the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors. Licensure requires an ABET-accredited degree, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering and PE exams, and four years of progressive experience, plus annual renewal and continuing education.



The principal engineer at Structural Design Solutions holds bachelor's and master's degrees in civil engineering from UNC Charlotte, with hands-on experience across hospitals, high-rises, offices, schools, and homes.

Licensed Structural Engineer vs. Home Inspector:

Why It Matters

A licensed PE evaluates load paths, foundations, framing, and structural integrity using engineering principles and code requirements. A home inspector notes visible conditions but cannot make structural determinations or issue stamped reports. Only a PE can legally provide a stamped drawing or engineer letter in North Carolina, and Structural Design Solutions sends a licensed PE to every evaluation.
