Straight answers. Practical engineering.

I’m Jim Orfitelli, P.E., founder of F&E Engineering. I help homeowners, contractors, builders, and design professionals solve structural problems in homes and light commercial buildings across New England.

Whether you’re looking at a foundation crack, planning a renovation, removing a load-bearing wall, or working through an unexpected condition on site, I’ll help you understand what’s happening and what to do next.

I bring more than 20 years of experience in engineering, construction, design, and operations to every project. You work directly with me—from the first conversation through the final recommendation or design.
