Drawings, existing plans, proposed changes, and permit comments all help define the structural scope. Documents are kept private and associated with your project.
Relevant service pages
Structural Modifications
Changes to existing structural elements or load paths. Typical inquiries involve framing changes, new openings, or altered use, subject to project assessment.
Commercial Tenant Improvements
Structural aspects of commercial interior and building improvements, coordinated with the architectural scope, proposed equipment, framing modifications, and existing drawings.
Building Additions
Structural engineering inquiries for additions, considering integration with the existing building, framing and foundation considerations, and coordination with other project professionals.
Major Remodels
Structural aspects of substantial remodeling projects, including existing-condition review, proposed layout changes, framing alterations, and the value of early coordination.
Load-Bearing Wall and Beam Design
Evaluating proposed wall removals and related beam, header, post, and support requirements. Identifying the full load path matters, and structural conclusions are not offered from photographs alone.
Structural Permit Corrections
Reviewing and responding to structural plan-check comments from the permitting authority, preparing an appropriate engineering response within the agreed scope.
Stamped Structural Calculations
Structural calculations supporting the agreed project scope and permit submission, signed and sealed by the appropriately licensed professional. Calculations differ from a letter and from construction drawings.
