Structural design and evaluation for custom homes, additions, renovations, foundations, retaining walls, decks, and load-bearing wall modifications.
Residential structures deserve the same engineering rigor as larger buildings, delivered at a scale and pace that fits homeowners, builders, and residential designers. We size the members, design the connections and foundations, and document the load path so the work can be permitted and built with confidence.
Usually, yes — after reviewing available drawings and observing the framing above and below the wall. If the wall is load-bearing, we can design the beam, posts, and footings needed to remove or open it.
It depends on the jurisdiction, the size, and the conditions. Many building departments require engineered plans for decks above a certain height, additions on sloped sites, or anything outside prescriptive code tables. We can confirm what your project needs.
We review available documents, observe accessible conditions on site, and document what we find. Conclusions and repair recommendations are based on the observed conditions and the agreed level of investigation, which we define together before the visit.
Residential
[City, State]
Wood-framed superstructure with steel moment frames at large openings, over a stepped reinforced-concrete foundation and retaining walls following the slope.
Renovation
[City, State]
Load-bearing masonry walls and heavy-timber floors, supplemented with new steel framing at openings and a strengthened diaphragm-to-wall load path.
Residential
[City, State]
Wood-framed addition tied to the existing house, with a flush steel beam replacing the removed bearing wall between kitchen and living areas.
