I am a full time student and will be finishing engineering school in one year.

So far 2019 has not been very kind in terms of looking for a 2 family home here in NYC.I work as an engineer in construction.

@Cody Kahl best thing is to get a GC, Engineer or foundation repair company to take a look and give you advice and estimates.

I've done some basic construction and auto mechanic work, re-wire houses and engine swaps, etc. so I know finding good workers is tough.

The city, highway district, developer and engineers and owners have all settled and the homes that were at risk have been removed along with the street that failed. 

I have an engineering degree out a very respected school in Texas have never had an issue getting a job.

However if I hire an architect/engineer ($7,500), get permits ($8,000) and hire a contractor ($150,000-$165,000) the price comes in closer to $165,000-$180,000.

My name is Jackson and I'm a senior computer science student and software engineering intern in the Atlanta area. 

@Jason MeadowsFor the garage they did have to go through some Engineering to get stamped plans saying it was OK to have people up there, and from that came construction to sister floor joists, do spray foam insulation, Sheetrock, paint, flooring, etc.

I am based in Orange County, and work as a geotechnical engineer at my family owned Geotechnical Engineering firm specializing in all soil work for construction (if you need any soils reports or have environmental issues send me a PM).
