New Structural Design
The standard of excellence we strive for in our design solutions combines creativity and innovation. We approach each project as unique, and we create solutions that meet the client's expectations and the architect's creative vision.

Seismic Retrofit
We have retrofitted hundreds of buildings in the Puget Sound region with seismic designs based on the most current technology in the industry. Using sophisticated computer modeling programs, we can determine how a building will behave during an earthquake. Our expertise will provide you with solutions to mitigate potential building damage and life safety concerns.

Seismic Studies
Our seismic experts conduct thorough investigations of existing buildings to assess probable seismic performance. We use current state of the art evaluation methodologies and computer software to evaluate and model building systems and pinpoint areas of weakness. Detailed reports are compiled for you that outline our findings in a clear and understandable manner.

Historic Preservation
Preserving the architectural integrity of historical buildings requires highly specialized training. Our historic preservation experts have worked to restore numerous Washington State historical buildings and landmarks, many of which are on the National Historic Register.

Remodels / Additions
We can help you with the remodel or addition to your existing structure, whether it's a residential addition or a commercial project. Our goal is to provide structurally sound designs that endure for generations.

Expert Opinion
As recognized structural engineering experts, we are often retained to provide expert opinion services. These services include expert testimony and depositions, as well as analysis and design to assist the building community in construction related disputes. Our broad range of expertise has enabled us to provide expert opinion in all conventional construction materials. We also have extensive experience in the forensic investigation of buildings due to impairment from water infiltration.

Due Diligence
We are building experts. We know how buildings should perform now and in the future. Throughout our firm's history, prospective building purchasers, commercial real estate companies and building owners have hired us to evaluate buildings. Whether you need a seismic assessment or a building condition evaluation, we have the experience to help you.

Earth Retention Systems
We provide engineering services for temporary or permanent earth retention systems. These systems require practical engineering knowledge and construction experience. We have expertise in designing a wide variety of retention systems, including cantilevered soldier pile walls, tie-back soldier pile walls, soil nailed walls and other more specialized systems.
