Our Process

It is our goal to help every client transform a dream into a physical, functional reality regardless of the project size. 

Structurally, our design experience includes additions to existing structures, substation structures and foundations, industrial service platforms, blast walls, multistory commercial office buildings, medical office building, educational and healthcare renovations, and pre-engineered metal building procurement and foundations. Designs for these projects have included the use of structural steel, concrete, cold-formed steel, masonry, and lumber.

Design-build projects also comprise a portion of our project portfolio. Other services we can offer you include structural condition assessment reports and incident forensic studies. It is our goal to help every client transform a dream into a physical, functional reality regardless of the project size. Our engineers work closely with all other disciplines to provide a seamless project with a ‘solid foundation’ and strong ‘backbone!’
