Great Jones Distilling Company adaptive reuse project

Structural engineering

Commercial Engineering

We help commercial project teams balance safety, flexibility, schedule, and long-term performance across new construction, renovation, and adaptive reuse.

What we do

Clear structural direction for complex commercial projects.

Our commercial experience includes mixed-use and multifamily buildings, hospitality, retail, offices, schools, religious facilities, industrial spaces, and specialized manufacturing environments. We work through the full project sequence—from due diligence and system selection to contract documents and construction administration.

Existing commercial buildings frequently require careful investigation before new loads or uses are introduced. We evaluate available records and observed conditions, analyze structural capacity, and develop targeted strengthening when the existing system cannot support the proposed program.

  • New buildings
  • Adaptive reuse
  • Tenant improvements
  • Equipment + rooftop loads

Capabilities

Focused support.
Complete perspective.

Scope is tailored to the project, from a focused evaluation to full design and construction-phase services.

01

New construction

Low- and mid-rise framing, podium systems, foundations, lateral systems, and coordinated structural documents.

02

Change of use

Capacity studies and reinforcement for revised occupancies, heavier live loads, and new operational requirements.

03

Equipment support

Evaluation and design for process equipment, medical equipment, rooftop units, tanks, and concentrated loads.

04

Occupied buildings

Phased work, temporary support, selective demolition, and structural modifications planned around operations.

Our process

From question to
buildable direction.

01

Understand

We establish goals, existing conditions, constraints, available information, and the decisions the engineering must support.

02

Analyze

We evaluate loads, materials, systems, code criteria, interfaces, and practical alternatives.

03

Document

We communicate the selected solution through clear calculations, reports, drawings, details, or specifications.

04

Support

We remain available through review and construction to answer questions and respond to field conditions.

Frequently asked

Good questions lead
to better projects.

Can you determine whether an existing floor or roof supports new equipment?+

Yes. We review the existing system, establish proposed loads, calculate available capacity, and design reinforcement when required.

Do you support permitting and construction?+

Yes. Our services can include permit documents and responses, submittal review, site visits, clarifications, and modifications for field conditions.

What commercial building types do you serve?+

Our experience spans multifamily, mixed-use, retail, hospitality, institutional, industrial, office, automotive, and community facilities.
