Services
Post-Frame Building Design
Specialized engineering for post-frame structures using poured concrete walls and Sturdi-Wall brackets. Designs accommodate commercial, agricultural, and residential applications with customized foundation systems. Our engineers optimize structural integrity while minimizing material costs through efficient post and truss placement.
Structural Engineering
Comprehensive structural analysis for foundations, roof systems, and timber framing. Services include glulam beam design, mortise-and-tenon connections, and steel/concrete construction evaluation. We ensure compliance with International Building Code and ADA accessibility standards for new and renovated structures.
CAD Drafting
2D/3D computer-aided drafting services for construction documentation. Create detailed plans for post-frame buildings, timber trusses, and specialty structures. Provide conceptual renders for zoning approvals showing material specifications and architectural features like stone veneer and metal roofing.
Building Code Review
Verification of designs against International Residential Code, ADA requirements, and state-specific regulations. Specialized in accessibility features, fire safety systems, and structural load calculations. Prepare detailed code compliance documentation for permitting and inspection processes.
Site Inspections
On-site evaluation of construction progress and structural integrity. Services include failure investigation, code compliance verification, and construction quality assessment. Provide technical support for complex installations like CMU fire barriers and multi-story timber frame systems.
