By integrating advanced materials and cutting-edge technologies, we address the challenges of modern engineering projects with creativity and precision. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our portfolio, which includes projects like the VA Durham Cancer Center and the VA Las Vegas Primary Care facility.
As the renowned engineer John A. Roebling, the mastermind behind the Brooklyn Bridge, once said, “If it can be imagined, it can be built.” This philosophy fuels our approach in pushing boundaries, turning bold ideas into reality, and ensuring that every structure we design stands as a testament to both vision and precision.
“The structural engineer is the link between the architect and the builder, who must interpret the architect’s vision in a way that can be built”

Developing detailed designs and performing analyses for various structures, including buildings, mezzanines, and industrial facilities. Materials range from structural steel, concrete, masonry, cold-formed steel framing, wood or heavy timber, aluminum, precast or post-tensioned concrete, tilt-up construction, etc.
Providing services such as construction management, inspection, and support to ensure projects are executed according to design specifications.
When a project is complex enough, additional support may be needed during construction. We can provide specialty designs for foundation underpinning, temporary shoring, concrete formwork, cold-formed steel framing, and structural steel connection design.
Conducting condition surveys, forensic investigations, or live load analyses, and providing as-built drawings or conceptual repair plans can provide assurance of the performance of your structure into the future.
When working with a tight budget, a feasibility study and code review can reconcile most issues. For new or existing buildings, we determine basis-of-design criteria and assist with a cost-benefit analysis or potential structural systems.
An Expert Witness is someone who has extensive specialized knowledge in a technical subject. If you need additional support, we can provide an unbiased review of the facts.
Early input by contractors is highly valuable. When design and construction teams get together, you get a better evaluation of cost-conscious options. Value Engineering can be performed at most project milestones, with builder input.
Independant Structural Engineering Reviews, or ever Reviews, are essential to the successful completion of complex or high-risk projects. We can conduct third-party reviews of design criteria, structural layouts and detailing, and technical specifications to add another layer of safety for the building’s end-user.
