Structural Design

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

We provide structural engineering design services for new residential projects, ensuring that every building is safe, efficient, and fully compliant with local and state building codes. Our approach focuses on developing framing systems and structural layouts that support architectural goals while maintaining long-term durability and cost-effectiveness.

Our work includes preparing full plan sets for permitting, designing gravity and lateral-force-resisting systems, and coordinating with the architectural team throughout the design process. We evaluate load paths, foundation requirements, and material selections to create a structural design that is practical to build and meets all jurisdictional requirements. This service supports homeowners, developers, and architects from conceptual planning through city approval and construction.

We provide engineering design for remodels and additions, ensuring that upgrades, layout changes, or new square footage integrate safely with the existing structure. Our work focuses on evaluating the current framing system, determining its capacity for new loads, and designing reinforcement or new structural elements where needed.

This service includes assessing wall removals, beam and column installations, second-story additions, and modifications around windows, doors, and interior openings. We analyze the existing structural conditions, identify constraints, and develop solutions that meet current building code requirements. The final design package includes construction drawings, calculations, and details suitable for permitting and contractor use

We offer independent structural plan review and consulting services to support architects, contractors, and property owners seeking verification or guidance on engineering documents. Our goal is to ensure that design plans are accurate, code-compliant, and buildable before they reach permitting or construction.

This service includes reviewing structural drawings prepared by others, identifying potential design issues, recommending value-engineering options, and clarifying structural requirements for both simple and complex projects. We assist throughout the design and permitting stages, helping clients refine their plans, resolve comments from building departments, and improve project constructability.
