A commercial facility owner discovered that a critical addition to the back of their building had never been permitted. Multiple architects and engineers assessed the structure and recommended full demolition which would have shut down operations and cost the owner millions in lost revenue.
Problem:
Unpermitted structure. Other engineers recommended full demolition — risking millions in lost revenue.
Solution:
We performed a structural evaluation, engineered a targeted retrofit, and worked directly with the city.
Result:
✔ Structure saved
✔ Approved without demolition
✔ Operations continued — zero downtime
This is what we do. We solve complex structural and engineering problems that other firms walk away from.
Commercial construction requires structural systems that integrate seamlessly with architectural design, mechanical systems, and construction schedules. Our engineering approach focuses on practical solutions that support both the design intent and the realities of construction.
We work closely with project teams to evaluate structural requirements, develop engineering solutions, and provide detailed documentation that meets California building codes and permitting standards. Whether the project involves new construction, structural modifications, or engineering analysis for an existing building, we provide solutions built around performance and coordination.
Our team regularly supports projects such as:
