Solving Every Engineering & Architectural Pain Point You Can Think Of... And Then Some
Whether a home inspector spotted a structural problem, you want to open up a floor plan, or your commercial building needs major changes to allow for residential use, bring the problem to us. Our team can help you understand what needs to happen and develop a practical solution for moving forward.
We provide detailed engineering inspections when a home inspection raises questions about foundations, framing, settlement, cracks, roof movement, or other structural conditions that need review by a licensed Professional Engineer.
Opening up a floor plan often requires more than a contractor's opinion. We evaluate the existing structure and design the beams, posts, connections, or other support needed for the proposed layout.
Before solar panels or heavier rooftop equipment are installed, we can evaluate the roof framing, calculate additional loads, and design reinforcement when the existing structure needs added support.
Wind, snow, fallen trees, water intrusion, and other weather events can affect framing and roof systems. We inspect the building and document structural damage, repair needs, and relevant engineering findings.
Older buildings often come with unexpected framing, previous alterations, outdated drawings, or unusual construction. Our architecture and engineering teams help work through those conditions before they become larger construction problems.
Converting an office, warehouse, retail space, residence, or mixed-use property can introduce new occupancy, structural, accessibility, and code requirements. We help determine what the building needs for the proposed use.
We prepare architectural plans, structural drawings, calculations, and sealed engineering documents for projects that require municipal review, contractor pricing, permit approval, or formal construction documentation.
Rooftop units, generators, mechanical equipment, storage systems, and specialized machinery can place loads where the building was never designed to carry them. We evaluate capacity and design structural modifications as needed.
Electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire protection, and structural systems often compete for limited space during renovations. Our broader engineering background helps resolve coordination problems before they reach the field.
For facilities that depend on reliable operations, we can support generator layouts, backup control centers, emergency power planning, and related building modifications that affect architectural, structural, or engineering design.
Complex projects may involve an architect, structural engineer, contractor, municipal reviewer, equipment supplier, and multiple consultants. Our firm can coordinate architecture and engineering under one roof and reduce unnecessary handoffs.
