Engineering, Architecture
& Inspection For Contractors
Is a lack of accessible, construction-friendly structural engineering & inspection having a negative impact on your bottom line? Need a reliable Architect?
Are you experiencing…
- Delayed projects due to increasing commercial property inspection requirements (often for simple project modifications)
- Slow response time from engineering firms and building inspection professionals who are busy meeting the needs of larger clients in a time of exponential growth
- Headaches due to the constantly changing code requirements that are nearly impossible to stay on top of without the right resources
- Sharply rising engineering costs due to inflation
We help contractors with:
- Foundation repair & design
- Reinforced concrete design
- Permitting assistance
- Formwork systems
- Concrete forms
- Structural steel design
- Construction Inspections
- Steel welding & repair

We provide common sense structural engineering and commercial property inspection solutions such as
- Construction letters of recommendation and certifications of adequacy
- Quick resolutions to owner driven field changes that cause structural modifications
- Collaborative solutions about those “can we move that wall?” questions
- Arbitration and representation for you with your building inspector
- Inspect and certify completed work on remodels and new homes
- Certification of safety after a fire or flood damage (temporary structures and emergency repair)
With decades of A&E experience, we use engineering analysis of structures and our judgment to create solutions to unique problems.
Projects vary widely in scope. We usually need to evaluate the current home to be able to evaluate the project scope. We meet on-site to inspect an issue and discuss possible solutions or designs to address them. Design is an iterative process, so we continue dialogue with our clients throughout the process as we refine our preliminary design ideas into a final working solution.
