Structural Opinion on Retaining Wall
Budget / Salary$250–750
TypeFreelance project

Posted3 hours ago
I need a Virginia-licensed structural engineer to determine whether a concrete block retaining wall on my property is still sound after a visible crack appeared. The end product I’m looking for is a concise, written expert opinion that I can use in connection with an upcoming property sale and any related legal paperwork.
I can supply high-resolution photos that show the crack in detail as well as the entire wall, past inspection notes and repair records, plus recent measurements of the crack width, wall height, and any signs of leaning. If you feel the photos and data are sufficient, I’m open to a fully remote review. Should you prefer to confirm conditions on-site, I’m also happy to arrange a visit in the Northern Virginia area.
Your letter or stamped report should:
• State whether the existing crack compromises structural integrity now or could in the near future.
• Explain probable cause and indicate if movement is active or dormant.
• Outline any repair or monitoring steps needed to satisfy a buyer’s due-diligence team or legal counsel.
Please let me know your process, the documentation you’ll need beyond what I already have, and how quickly you can issue the written opinion once you receive the material or complete an on-site inspection.
