Our goal is to design a cost effective aesthetically pleasing project that meets the client’s needs. We understand that coordination is essential for successful structural engineering of new construction projects. Our structural design team works closely with clients and their representatives to meet the client’s needs. Throughout every step of the project we collaborate with the project architect, mechanical engineer, and contractor to ensure a smooth completion.

We pride ourselves on being creative structural engineers. We enjoy unique and challenging new construction projects that allow us to be creative with our structural design to achieve the project’s goals. Structural design projects in Southern California often lead to many challenges including earthquakes, fire hazards, hillside construction, and challenging soil conditions. We have extensive structural design experience with all of these unique situations. The primary goal is to always create a structural design that meets the clients and architect’s vision.

Some of our structural engineering new construction projects include:
  • Various commercial buildings
  • Office buildings
  • Retail buildings
  • Restaurants
  • Parking structures
  • Tilt-up buildings
  • Custom Residential
