What sets us apart from most engineering companies is that we strive to provide engineered plans that are economical and practical to build as well as simple and easy to understand. For our lateral (wind and seismic) design, we minimize the number and size of hold downs that are specified. In addition, we only specify shear walls for interior walls where they are required by design. We provide separate engineered plans with our lateral design requirements that can be submitted to the building department. The lateral designs for most single family residential projects range from $500 to $1000. For vertical load calculations, we are able to provide efficient and quick structural calculations with software that has been developed by our company during the last 17 years called StruCalc. This software is sold nationally with over 5000 users at this time. You can see information about this software on our website at www.strucalc.com. We are also specialists in the design of buildings using ICF (insulated concrete form) construction. We have been providing structural design for these types of projects over the past sixteen years involving more than 300 projects, large and small. Over the years, we have created many details for these ICF projects that can be easily modified for each new project saving you time and money. In addition, we have substantial experience in the design of log structures, should you need structural consulting for that type of construction.
