When a lender, building department, contractor, or home sale in Kansas City requires documentation from a licensed structural engineer, StructSolve provides the evaluation, written findings, and PE-stamped report that satisfies those requirements, based on what the engineering actually shows.
Engineering documentation reflects engineering findings. StructSolve provides accurate, defensible documentation based on what our licensed PE observes and concludes, not what any party wants the report to say. We do not produce engineer letters that misrepresent structural conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions. Engineer Letters & Reports in Kansas City
What is a PE-stamped structural report in Kansas City?
A PE-stamped structural report is a written engineering document prepared and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer registered in Missouri. The PE stamp confirms the document meets professional engineering standards and is accepted by Kansas City area lenders, building departments, insurance carriers, and legal parties as credentialed engineering documentation.
What is an engineer letter?
An engineer letter is a shorter written communication from a licensed PE, typically addressing a specific structural question, confirming a condition, or providing a recommendation. Engineer letters are commonly used in Kansas City for contractor coordination, permit support, or lender conditions that don't require a full observation report.
My Kansas City lender requires a structural engineer report. What do I need?
Provide StructSolve with your lender's condition letter. This document specifies exactly what the lender needs, the type of report, what must be evaluated, and what the PE stamp must confirm. We tailor our engagement and documentation to satisfy those requirements.
Does every StructSolve report come with a PE stamp?
Not automatically. PE stamps are applied to documents that require them based on scope, use, and project type. When you request service, tell us how the document will be used, such as lender condition, permit, or contractor coordination, and we will confirm whether a PE stamp is included and appropriate.
