When a building failure occurs, we conduct the necessary investigation to determine the reason for the failure, and provide recommendations for modifications. We can review project drawings to confirm design-to-build is correct, assess partial damage investigations to develop plans for repairs, and provide expert assessment of why an incident took place.

Our goal is to design buildings and building modifications that can withstand the test of time and environmental stresses. We work with building owners, architects, contractors, and materials suppliers to design building plans for new construction, building remodeling or rehabilitation, or changes to building elements that meet the design goals of the project, while keeping with the safety standards that building codes require.

We make sure your building is adequately protected against the elements and the pressures that nature exerts on the exterior building envelope, cladding and components.
Utilizing both traditional methods, as well as advanced modern systems and materials, we design plans and determine the correct materials to properly seal building exteriors against moisture, and thermal and air penetration.
When your project architect specifies delegated engineering and design services for specific secondary structural elements, we can provide the engineering analysis and detailed requirements to your contractor.
We can assist with the design of all types of retaining walls, and determine the best materials and construction method to create a resilient, durable barrier to erosion. In addition to traditional wall materials, we design for MSE, concrete, timber and tie-back walls.
Our dedicated drafting staff use AutoCAD to develop all of our designs and plans, making for a faster, more economical option for our clients.
