BUILDINGS

  • Existing Buildings

  • Remodels & Additions

  • Existing Structures

  • New Buildings

  • Retrofit of Unreinforced Structures

We blend civil and structural engineering to build solid foundations for new buildings and to improve existing buildings. It’s difficult to overemphasize the importance of a structural engineer from the outset of design. We are well versed in modernizing existing structures, particularly in projects that expand living spaces. This can include creating open-plan areas by removing walls. Our portfolio also includes designing new buildings with a focus on structural soundness. In the Bay Area, prone to earthquakes, we emphasize retrofitting to enhance building resilience. This comprehensive approach ensures our projects not only meet spatial requirements but are also safe and durable.

OTHER STRUCTURES

  • Retaining Walls

  • Industrial Structures

  • Stairs & Platforms

  • Parking structures - Above & Below Ground

  • Fall Restraint Systems

  • Demolition Sequences

We extend our engineering experience to a diverse range of structures beyond traditional buildings. Our projects include designing retaining walls, essential for managing properties on challenging terrains, such as the hilly landscapes of the San Francisco Bay Area. We specialize in industrial structures, stairs, platforms, and both above and below ground parking structures, catering to the unique spatial constraints of urban environments. 

​

Our expertise in civil engineering plays an important

role in integrating driveways and access points into these structures, ensuring functionality and safety. Additionally, we address specialized needs such as fall restraint systems and meticulously planned demolition sequences, leveraging our extensive hands-on experience and knowledge of structural principles. This array of services underscores our ability to tackle a wide variety of structural challenges with confidence and skill.
