Services
Parking Consulting
Our parking consulting services combine technical expertise with operational insights to optimize parking infrastructure. We provide master planning, revenue control systems, ADA compliance reviews, and intelligent parking technologies for municipal and commercial clients. Our engineers design efficient parking solutions that enhance user experience while maximizing space utilization and revenue potential.
Specialty Engineering
We specialize in precast concrete specialty engineering for stadiums, parking structures, and industrial buildings. Our services include product design, BIM modeling, value engineering, and forensic analysis. With experience in over 100 parking structures and major venues like NFL stadiums, we deliver durable, code-compliant solutions that meet exacting performance standards and architectural requirements.
Structural Engineering
Our structural engineering practice focuses on functional, code-compliant designs for parking garages, industrial facilities, and correctional institutions. We leverage decades of precast concrete expertise to create cost-effective, durable structures that balance aesthetic requirements with structural integrity, ensuring long-term performance and minimal maintenance costs.
BIM Modeling
We provide Building Information Modeling (BIM) services using Revit, Tekla, and StructureWorks platforms. Our BIM solutions include sales models, coordination models, and complete system models that enhance project visualization and interdisciplinary coordination. These digital representations improve decision-making and streamline construction processes for complex precast concrete projects.
Design/Build
Our design/build services offer single-source responsibility for project delivery. We manage the entire process from concept development through construction, providing cost estimates, schematic design, and quality assurance. This approach reduces project timelines while ensuring alignment with owners' requirements for functional performance, security, and operational efficiency.
