Honor Builders, LLC

Structural Engineering, Home inspection, Architects,

About us

Honor Builders is a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business. We provide structural engineering solutions for residential and commercial engineering challenges. All structural engineering services are led by an experienced, licensed structural engineer and reviewed by a professional engineer with over 30-years experience in the field. Our specialty is home renovations and new construction - we do not typically do foundation repairs. We offer our structural engineering services throughout the state of Virginia. We also provide radon services, but only in and around the Norfolk area. Our fees for structural engineering consulting begin at $300, and increase based on the complexity and size of the project, as well as the requirements of the local building department. There are additional fees if the building department requires a PE Seal or CAD Drawings. Much of our structural work is done remotely. We will guide you through all necessary steps to gather information including taking photos, videos, dimensions, and in some cases live video calls. In-person visits are rarely necessary but are possible in and around the Norfolk area. If your project is one we believe we can help with, we will typically respond within a few days.

It went Excellent! It is a beautiful thing when your are blessed to come in contact with someone who really loves what they do. Those people are few and far in between. The dollar is not the driving force in the work they are providing. Paul Olsen is one of those rare individuals. I HIGHLY! recommend his services to anyone in need of Structural Engineering expertise. Marcus and Kisha Anthony

Honor Builders provided a rapid 48-hour test that confirmed my system was operating properly and my indoor air quality as excellent. This gave me a peace of mind. Their technician, Ferd (ask for him!) was very polite and respectful during the testing. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions.

The experience with Honor Builders LLC was fantastic! They handled our engineering needs at a high standard with quality. In working with Conor we were able to get calculations back rapidly and accurately which helped tremendously during the review process and the inspections. Thank you guys for being there, being honest and providing a service which we all dearly need. - GB

Five Stars Is Not Enough! Communication with the company was easy and fast, provided flexible schedule. Conor was our engineer, he did a fantastic job for us. I received my plans just a few days after my request. It was really hard for me to find a good engineer with decent prices and professional I found both with Conor. I've contacted with him multiple times for building permit and structural drawings and Conor has gone above and beyond to help me every single time. I would definitely use them again and give them my highest recommendation! This is the best service provider !

The support and the service that we received from Honor Builders was outstanding. They helped us in getting a permit for the improvement of our rear patio cover, which needs structural maintenance. We exchanged a lot of emails, and they were always available to answer our questions and provide explanations and directions. They even spoke directly with the city representatives to better understand their requirements. We got the permit, and now we are starting to work on the patio cover. We are really satisfied, a special thank to Paul and Conor!

The owner of Honor Builders called me promptly after receiving my request. He was extremely polite, honest, and spent about 15-20 minutes discussing his area of expertise and experience dealing with radon. I was interested in getting a test as I've seen online that it's a good idea to make sure your home is in optimal condition and safe. The owner stated he would be more than happy to perform the test, even offered a discount, but that in his professional opinion, it was not necessary as radon gas is not an issue where the house is. It's beyond commendable that a company would be straight forward and honest to the point of turning down work and guiding potential clients to the best solution even if it is not the most profitable decision. I would happily go through them for any future services, and they have my highest recommendation.

My wife and I were selling our house and had previous foundation work done. We needed to provide a report to the buyer that the foundation was solid. Paul and his team were very responsive to my phone and email inquiries. They followed up within just a couple hours, explained what they would be able to do, and got a time scheduled for the same week. After the inspection they were able to provide their written report without delay. The service quality, customer service, and timeliness of Paul and his team were great and I would not hesitate to use them again.

Both Conor and Paul were very helpful. They quickly understood my issue, asked good questions, and provided a solution quickly and completely. I never met them in person due to Covid-19, but they were very professional in all communications. They answered my questions as well. Pricing was very reasonable for my issue and they solved it quickly. Thanks!

Paul contacted me within a day of submitting the quote request. Initially, the scope of work was misunderstood, but Paul met my expectations (and then some). The initial quote was honored even though additional work was required of the engineer. The structural engineer, Conor, started working on my plans immediately. I was kept in the loop via email throughout the entire process. My final documents/plans were provided very quickly. Although my project was relatively small, I was made to feel as if I were their #1 client. It's not just on their masthead, Honor is in the company's culture. They will be the only company I call for future project plans.

During a pre-sale home inspection, the inspector took issue with a repair of sagging floor joists that we had done ~17 years prior. Paul and Conor were able to evaluate the repairs and determine that they were structurally adequate, saving us 10s of thousands in potential unnecessary repair costs. The analysis was completed expeditiously, with plenty of communication between us. I would definitely consider Honor Builders for work in the future.
