Services
New Construction
We provide full structural engineering services for single and multi-story buildings, from foundation design to final construction documentation. Our expertise covers steel, concrete, and timber systems for commercial, educational, and healthcare facilities. By integrating modern analysis techniques, we ensure optimal structural performance while meeting client-specific functional requirements.
Building Investigation
Our team conducts comprehensive evaluations of existing structures to identify deterioration, code compliance issues, and load capacity limitations. We develop cost-effective renovation strategies for aging buildings while maintaining structural integrity. This includes forensic analysis of concrete, steel, and masonry components to determine repair requirements.
3D Structural Analysis
We utilize advanced software to create detailed 3D models for analyzing complex structural systems. This technology enables precise load calculations and performance simulations for multi-material constructions. Our engineers optimize designs to meet seismic, wind, and occupancy-specific requirements while minimizing material waste.
Building Information Modeling
Since 2009, we've implemented BIM technology to enhance project coordination and construction documentation. This approach improves clash detection between structural and MEP systems, streamlines fabrication processes, and provides clients with accurate visualizations. Our BIM models support efficient project delivery from design through construction phases.
Construction Support
Our engineers provide continuous support during construction through submittal reviews, site visits, and technical consultations. We address field changes while maintaining design intent and code compliance. This includes developing temporary shoring plans and coordinating with contractors to resolve structural challenges during construction.
