Our Services

As a leading structural engineering firm, we provide a comprehensive range of services, including:

Exterior Non-Load-Bearing Walls

We design and engineer exterior walls for non-combustible buildings, incorporating cold-formed steel framing elements such as wall studs, opening framing, soffits, cornices, and canopy supports. Our team of experts ensures that every aspect of the building envelope is thoroughly engineered and designed to meet the specific needs of each project.

Load-Bearing Walls

Our experienced engineers design and engineer load-bearing cold-formed steel walls to support roof trusses or rafters in single-story buildings and floor systems in multi-story buildings. We provide extensive detailing and drawing packages for wall studs, opening framing, and shear walls made from flat strap x-bracing or structural board.

Trusses

We provide engineering services for complete truss systems, including layout drawings, detailing, and installation guidance. Our experts take into account the specific requirements of each project, ensuring that truss systems are designed and engineered to meet the precise needs of each building.

Joists and Rafters

Cold-formed steel framing is often used to support floors or frame roofs with attic spaces. Our team of experts provides engineered framing drawings, including placement plans, member bracing, and connection details, to ensure that every aspect of the framing system is thoroughly considered.

Platforms

We design and engineer cold-formed steel platforms to support stages, tiered seating platforms, stairs, ramps, and other features. Our engineers create detailed drawings and specifications to ensure that every aspect of the platform is thoroughly engineered and designed.

Interior Walls

Some buildings require interior walls or large interior features that demand engineering expertise. Our team provides engineered framing drawings for interior walls, wall openings, shaft walls, soffits, suspended ceilings, and other features requiring engineering.

Job Site Support

As part of our comprehensive services, we offer engineering support during construction. If repairs or modifications are needed, our team provides repair details. We can also travel to the job site to perform site observations, followed by reports and repair details if necessary.
