Services
Structural Engineering
Our structural engineering services cover residential, commercial, and industrial projects using advanced 3D analysis software. We specialize in high-wind and seismic zone designs, ensuring compliance with local building codes. Our team provides detailed framing plans, foundation designs, and material specifications for wood, steel, and concrete structures.
Custom Home Design
We create energy-efficient custom homes using sustainable materials like aircrete and shipping containers. Our designs integrate insulation, seismic resilience, and aesthetic appeal while meeting HUD and local zoning requirements. Services include 3D modeling, permit assistance, and construction oversight for unique residential projects.
Container Structures
Our container engineering services transform shipping containers into commercial buildings, storage facilities, and emergency shelters. We provide structural analysis, reinforcement plans, and code compliance documentation for multi-container complexes like the 6,500-seat Fortress Obetz stadium in Ohio.
Green Building Design
We specialize in LEED-compliant green building solutions using recycled materials and energy-efficient systems. Our expertise includes bamboo structures, straw bale homes, and solar panel integration. We optimize designs to reduce carbon footprints while maintaining structural integrity and cost-effectiveness.
Seismic Upgrades
Our seismic retrofitting services enhance structural resilience in earthquake-prone regions. We conduct vulnerability assessments and design reinforcement systems using steel bracing, shear walls, and foundation anchors. Projects include upgrades for schools, municipal buildings, and historic structures across the Pacific Northwest.
