New homes
Complete structural systems for conventional, modern, coastal, modular, and high-performance residences.
Structural engineering
Residential Engineering
From custom waterfront homes to targeted renovations, we help homeowners and residential design teams turn ambitious ideas into safe, code-compliant, buildable structures.
Discuss your projectWhat we do
Engineering the way people want to live.
Residential projects often place demanding structural requirements behind a refined architectural result: open plans, large areas of glass, cantilevers, concealed beams, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections. We coordinate the structure around those priorities while maintaining efficient load paths and constructible details.
For existing homes, we evaluate observed concerns and proposed changes before recommending an appropriate next step. Services may include site observations, calculations, signed and sealed reports, repair concepts, or complete structural drawings depending on the project and jurisdiction.

Capabilities
Focused support.
Complete perspective.
Scope is tailored to the project, from a focused evaluation to full design and construction-phase services.
Renovations
Open-plan conversions, kitchen expansions, wall removals, dormers, decks, and revised floor layouts.
Additions
Horizontal extensions, second-story additions, rear additions, and connections to existing construction.
Evaluations
Foundation concerns, cracking, settlement, framing modifications, storm damage, and pre-renovation assessments.
Our process
From question to
buildable direction.
Understand
We establish goals, existing conditions, constraints, available information, and the decisions the engineering must support.
Analyze
We evaluate loads, materials, systems, code criteria, interfaces, and practical alternatives.
Document
We communicate the selected solution through clear calculations, reports, drawings, details, or specifications.
Support
We remain available through review and construction to answer questions and respond to field conditions.
Frequently asked
Good questions lead
to better projects.
Do I need an engineer to remove a wall?+
If the wall may be load-bearing, an engineer should determine what it supports and design the beam, posts, connections, and foundations needed to safely redistribute the loads.
Can you work with my architect or builder?+
Yes. We routinely coordinate with residential architects, designers, builders, and specialty contractors.
What residential materials do you design with?+
Common systems include wood framing, engineered lumber, structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, cold-formed steel, SIPs, and hybrid combinations.
