Structural Engineering Services for Residential & Light Commercial Projects

With over 12 years of experience in structural design and construction support, we provide thoughtful, practical engineering services for homes, renovations, additions, and light commercial buildings. From foundational systems to framing and structural modifications, our work is grounded in precision, code compliance, and real-world constructibility.

What We Offer

  • We prepare comprehensive structural construction documents tailored to your architectural plans, from foundation through roof. Our services include:

    • Structural design for new single-family homes, detached garages, cabanas, and guest houses

    • Multi-family residential design (townhomes, apartments)

    • Full structural documentation including foundations, floors, walls, and roof framing

    • Experience with wood, steel, reinforced concrete, and truss systems

    Whether you’re building a custom dream home or a small residential community, we ensure the structural design aligns with architectural intent and local codes.

  • Updating an existing structure often requires careful evaluation and structural redesign. We provide:

    • On-site assessment of existing framing, foundations, and load paths

    • Identification of load-bearing walls

    • Design of new beams, posts, and footings for wall removals or reconfigurations

    • Structural design for additions, finished attic space, decks, porches (attached or free-standing), and expanded living areas

    • Integration of new structural elements with existing systems

    Our goal is to maintain structural integrity while accommodating your design goals.

  • We offer construction observation and inspection services to verify that structural work complies with engineered plans and building codes:

    • Footing, foundation, and retaining wall inspections

    • Framing inspections (roof, floor, and wall framing)

    • On-site visits during key construction stages

    • Coordination and problem-solving with builders when changes arise on site

    • Response to items flagged by local building inspectors

    These services help minimize delays and ensure quality construction.

  • Moving forward with a purchase? We can assess structural issues and design solutions for concerns flagged in inspection reports, including:

    • Evaluations of structural framing and foundations

    • Recommendations and engineered designs for necessary repairs or reinforcements

    • Written reports to support negotiations or lending requirements

    Whether it’s a first inspection or a follow-up design need, we help clarify structural conditions.

  • Strong foundations and retaining systems are critical in coastal and varied soil conditions. Our services include:

    • Foundation design included with new construction structural plans

    • Retaining wall design to control soil movement and support site grading

    • Foundation design for pre-manufactured metal buildings and accessory structures

    We ensure foundation systems are stable, efficient, and well-suited to site constraints.

  • While our focus is residential, we also provide structural design for smaller commercial buildings, such as:

    • Offices

    • Churches

    • Clubhouses

    • Other light commercial structures

    These projects receive the same technical care and documentation as our residential offerings.
