Our Services

Our detailed structural assessments provide a comprehensive evaluation of your property's structural elements, identifying potential issues before they become major problems.

  • Structural Home Inspections

    Our engineers conduct thorough inspections of residential properties, examining the structural integrity of foundations, framing, load-bearing walls, and other critical components. We provide clear documentation of our findings along with recommendations for addressing any identified issues.

  • Structural Assessments

    Our detailed structural assessments provide a comprehensive evaluation of your property's structural elements, identifying potential issues before they become major problems.

  • Foundation Inspection Engineering

    Foundation problems can compromise an entire structure. Our specialized foundation assessments detect settlement, cracks, water infiltration, and other issues that may affect the stability and safety of your building.

  • Real Estate Engineering

    When purchasing property, our pre-purchase structural assessments give you confidence in your investment. We thoroughly evaluate the structural elements of potential properties, helping you make informed decisions and negotiate effectively based on structural realities.

Structural Analysis

Our advanced structural analysis services employ state-of-the-art technology and methodologies to ensure your structures can safely handle all anticipated loads and stresses.

  • Additional Rooftop Loading

    We determine if your roof can support additional loads from solar arrays, HVAC systems, or other rooftop installations. Our team includes local loading conditions such as snow, wind, and seismic activity in every analysis to ensure long-term stability and safety.

  • Seismic Retrofit/Soft Story

    Our engineers specialize in evaluating and designing retrofits for buildings in seismic zones. We identify vulnerable "soft story" conditions and develop practical, code-compliant solutions to improve structural performance during seismic events.

  • Estimating Available Capacity

    Before planning modifications or additions to existing structures, our capacity analysis determines exactly how much additional loading your structure can safely support. This analysis prevents overloading and guides appropriate design decisions for your project.

Structural Design

Our structural design services combine technical expertise with practical solutions, ensuring your project is both structurally sound and functionally efficient.

  • Residential Structural Engineering

    We provide complete structural design services for new homes, additions, and renovations. Our designs balance structural requirements with architectural vision, creating safe, compliant, and beautiful living spaces.

  • Load Bearing Wall Removal

    Creating open floor plans often requires removing load-bearing walls. Our engineers design appropriate beam and column replacements that maintain structural integrity while achieving your desired layout, complete with detailed specifications for construction.

  • Retaining Wall Engineering

    Our engineered retaining wall designs account for soil conditions, drainage requirements, and lateral earth pressures to create durable, long-lasting solutions for managing elevation changes on your property.

  • Commercial Buildings

    From multi-story office buildings to warehouses and retail spaces, our commercial structural design services address the unique requirements of business structures, including specialized loading conditions, large spans, and flexible space utilization.

Foundation Engineering

The foundation is literally what your structure stands on. Our foundation engineering services ensure your building has a solid base designed for specific site conditions and structural loads.

  • Foundation Design

    We design foundations specifically tailored to your building's requirements and site conditions. Our designs incorporate appropriate dimensions, reinforcement, and details to ensure stable support for your entire structure.

  • Concrete Pad Design

    For equipment supports, light structures, or specialized applications, our concrete pad designs provide the appropriate thickness, reinforcement, and edge details to properly support intended loads.

  • Ground Anchors and Piles

    When soil conditions are challenging, our deep foundation solutions including helical piles, driven piles, and ground anchors provide secure anchoring to stable soil layers or bedrock.

  • Foundation Repair

    Our engineers diagnose foundation problems and design effective repair strategies. We specify appropriate underpinning, stabilization, or reinforcement methods to restore structural integrity to compromised foundations.
