How we work
Our goal is to make the structural engineering process clear and straightforward. While every project is different, most follow a similar general process:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing your project, goals, and any structural concerns you may have. This helps us understand the scope of work and determine the engineering services required.
Our approach:
We believe in being transparent from the start. We clearly explain the scope of work, expected timeline, and what you can expect throughout the process. If we believe your project does not require our services, we will tell you.
2. Evaluation & Information Gathering
Depending on the project, we may review architectural plans, existing drawings, or perform a site visit to evaluate the structure and gather the information needed to proceed with the engineering work.
Our approach:
We take a careful and thorough approach to understanding existing conditions so that our structural solutions are based on accurate information.
3. Structural Analysis & Design
We perform the necessary structural analysis and develop practical engineering solutions tailored to your project.
Our approach:
Our designs focus on practical, efficient solutions that work well in the real world—not just on paper.
4. Construction Documents
Structural drawings and calculations are prepared for use by contractors and for submission to the local jurisdiction as part of the permitting process.
Our approach:
We produce clear, complete, and easy-to-read drawings so contractors and plan reviewers can understand the design quickly and keep projects moving forward.
5. Permitting & Construction Support
Our structural documents can be submitted for permit review, and we remain available to assist with questions or clarifications that may arise during permitting or construction.
Our approach:
We stay accessible throughout the process, answer questions when they arise, and do our best to support clients and project teams as the project moves forward.
