Structural Engineering  and  Forensic Investigations

Unique architectural designs or standard building construction, our structural engineers have designed new and evaluated existing buildings in San Antonio and throughout the South Texas region. 

Our engineers have 50+ years combined experience in structural design, analysis, construction and investigations.  Projects include road systems, bridges, buildings (foundations and frames), encompass the residential and commercial environments, and utilize steel, concrete, masonry and wood construction methods.  We are frequently consulted by owners, builders, contractors, realtors, various agencies and lawyers for our expertise.

What edge do we bring to a team?  Our knowledge of how structures are built, the crews used to build them and the regional materials available are major strengths that we offer our clients.  We couple that with a strong structural background, up to date research information on investigative techniques and materials, and the extensive experience gained investigating structures under typical and unusual distress. 

The quality of our designs is always complimented by our sensitivity to the clients needs.  We can save you money in building a structure.  We can provide you the best, most cost-effective and efficient design or solution to your building challenges.  We can help in determining the cause and origin of various distresses and provide a plan of correction.  Having a structural design or evaluation by an experienced and knowledgeable engineer is a prudent investment in the construction of a structure, the purchase/sale of a building, and the remodeling/enlarging of an existing building. 

The service we provide is a quality design, a thorough investigation, a complete analysis as each project requires.  We strongly believe in working closely with our clients as a team.
