At Martin, Chock & Carden, we utilize the latest structural design techniques, together with applied research and planning concepts, to create innovative, pragmatic and sustainable engineering solutions for our clients throughout Hawaii and the Pacific region. Our structural design projects range from new high-rise and low-rise construction to the renovation, repair, and retrofitting of existing buildings and structures in both the private and public sectors.

We have specialized expertise and experience in risk analysis for natural and technological hazards, climate change adaptation, hazard mitigation, emergency response planning, and benefit/cost analysis. Our wind, seismic and tsunami engineering research has led to the development of improved Hawaii building codes, more resilient construction, and refinement of loss estimation techniques used in disaster planning.
Services
It is a Hawaii corporation associated with the Martin Associates Group, one of the nation's largest consulting structural engineering organizations.
Gary Chock is President of Martin, Chock & Carden, Inc.
Under the leadership of Chairman John A. Martin, Jr., the Martin Associates Group provides world-wide coverage from offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Phoenix, Tucson, and Beijing.
The Group's total staff of over 300 and its extensive portfolio of work reflect a significant contribution to the nation's built environment.
These services include studies of structural systems for master planning and conceptual design, preliminary design for budgeting, development of complete construction documents and BIM models, and general onsite observation of structural work during construction.
The Hawaii Martin, Chock & Carden office has been in business for over 50 years, and has been involved in the design of the large proportion of Hawaii's building heritage.
This provides a unique history and institutional knowledge of existing buildings and local site conditions.
Martin, Chock & Carden is committed to devising structural systems beneficial to owners, meeting schedule constraints, and maintaining the continuity of design coordination throughout all project phases.
At Martin, Chock & Carden, we work closely with developers, contractors, architects, and government agencies on projects of varying size and complexity.
Our experience includes involvement in all phases of the development process from site selection and planning to conceptual design, production of construction documentation and facility construction.
We have extensive experience in the alteration, renovation, repair, and retrofit of all types of buildings and structures.
These projects can often be the most challenging.
Alterations, renovations, and retrofits require an understanding of historic structural systems and flexibility to determine the appropriate methods for specific circumstances in a building.
Through our experience, historical institutional knowledge, and investment in technical advancements, we have developed efficiency in the utilization of specific design techniques and implementation of a range of approaches for efficiently strengthening buildings for building owners.
We have very extensive experience in performing structural evaluations/investigations for various purposes.
These investigations range from issue-specific focused investigations to comprehensive structural investigations, in which field surveys, non-destructive testing of existing materials, and detailed structural analysis of existing structures have been performed.
Structural survey and investigation of wood framed structures with termite and dry rot damage.
Structural survey and investigation of buildings and structures damaged by foundation differential settlement, expansive soils, and other types of ground movement.
