Structural Engineering

We support design teams, glazing contractors, and manufacturers early in the process—evaluating structural system options, facade attachment strategies, and constructability risks. Our pre-design work integrates facade and enclosure systems with structural load paths, helping teams align architectural ambition with performance and code compliance from the outset.

We investigate existing structures to assess deterioration, identify causes of distress, and evaluate readiness for upgrades, adaptive reuse, or continued occupancy. Our work blends field-based assessments with structural analysis to deliver clear recommendations for clients managing aging, compromised, or high-risk buildings.

We develop retrofit strategies that address seismic risk, deterioration, and evolving code requirements—often for buildings that are occupied, operational, or historically significant. Our work balances engineering rigor with constructability, sequencing, and stakeholder goals.

We deliver seismic assessments and retrofit design for buildings in moderate- to high-risk zones. Our work often includes integration with facade systems and phasing strategies for occupied buildings. We align seismic strategies with carbon goals and cost targets wherever possible.

We support attorneys, insurers, and owners with independent structural evaluation of performance failures and project disputes. Our engineers provide expert reports, technical exhibits, and courtroom testimony that reflect both technical rigor and real-world construction context.

We design and implement monitoring programs to measure displacement, vibration, and structural movement in existing buildings—whether for baseline documentation or long-term performance tracking.
