Services
Building Information Modeling
Our BIM specialists utilize Revit and AutoCAD for 19+ years to create detailed structural models that enhance collaboration and documentation quality. We develop customized families and systems to support modern construction methods while ensuring seamless data sharing across disciplines. Our engineers work closely with clients to optimize modeling features and implement efficient design verification processes that reduce errors and streamline project timelines.
Forensic Engineering
We conduct comprehensive structural condition surveys to diagnose problems and recommend rehabilitation solutions. Our engineers provide expert testimony and document evaluations for legal proceedings, covering issues from fire damage to structural collapse. With three decades of experience across the eastern U.S., we combine field inspections with technical analysis to determine root causes and develop cost-effective repair strategies for insurance and litigation purposes.
Unmanned Aerial Services
Our FAA-licensed pilots deploy drones for high-resolution inspections of hard-to-reach structures. This technology enables rapid facade evaluations and damage assessments while minimizing safety risks and access costs. We process 4K imagery to identify structural issues and support traditional inspection methods, particularly beneficial for distressed or collapsed buildings where physical access proves dangerous or impractical.
Cold-Formed Steel Design
We specialize in designing load-bearing and non-load-bearing CFS systems for walls, floors, and roofs. Early involvement in projects allows us to define system details on contract drawings, level bidding fields, and reduce final construction costs. Our expertise covers stud, joist, and truss design with material compatibility for brick, stucco, and siding finishes across commercial and residential construction types.
Adaptive Reuse
We transform existing buildings through comprehensive structural evaluations that identify strengths and weaknesses in historic and modern systems. Our engineers reinforce steel, masonry, and wood-framed structures for new loading requirements while preserving architectural integrity. This approach maintains economic efficiency for owners while enabling creative solutions for repurposing industrial, commercial, and cultural landmarks.
