Safe analysis and design for removing load-bearing walls — beam sizing, support systems, and open-concept conversions backed by code-compliant calculations.

Foundation Design

Foundation engineering for all soil and seismic conditions — including hillside construction, soil-bearing analysis, and foundation repair and retrofit plans.

Decks, Patios & Porches

Architectural and structural design for outdoor living — elevated decks, patio covers, and porches — a complete, permit-ready package with code-compliant calculations.

Seismic & Retrofit

We can handle the permit application and processing for you — preparing the submittal, working with the building department, and managing comments so the whole process is hassle-free.

Need more than engineering? We can help with the whole project.

No drawings yet? We work with trusted local architects and designers to develop your plans, and we can connect you with reliable contractors to build it. From design through build, we'll help coordinate the right team and handle all the structural engineering.
