Our staff consists of highly experienced professional engineers with registrations in numerous states, as well as CAD and BIM specialists. Our strengths lie in providing prompt, efficient and useful services for our client and the project. We work hard to develop the most appropriate and economical structural solutions of each building. We make a special effort to solve the problems of the project and present complete and well thought out solutions on construction drawings so that contractors can submit a tighter bid and avoid problem areas during construction. We make a concerted effort with our client to achieve a successfully completed project.
