Structural Engineering

Explore a new standard of service that goes beyond the conventional, one that is based upon experience from the contractor's perspective. We take your vision and mold it into a buildable reality. Our engineers are fully capable to handle your structural needs for projects that are 4 stories tall or less.

Structural Consulting Services

  • Structured Design and Consulting provides design planning and execution of cast-in-place concrete foundations for both residential and commercial buildings, particularly those up to four stories in height.

    Our firm employs cutting-edge technology and expertise to tailor foundation solutions that meet the specific needs of each project. From the initial excavation and placement of reinforcing steel bars to the precise pouring of concrete into the formwork, we ensure that the cast-in-place foundations are not only structurally sound but also compliant with local building codes and regulations.

    We collaborate closely with architects and builders to customize foundation designs based on soil conditions, load requirements, and the unique characteristics of each site. Through our commitment to excellence in Foundation Design, we contribute to the construction of safe, durable, and efficient structures that stand the test of time.

  • Structured Design and Consulting can optimize your retaining wall solutions, employing a diverse range of techniques to address varying terrains and project requirements.

    We excel in the design and implementation of H-pile lagging and steel sheeting piling, where we utilize steel elements, concrete lagging panels, and tie-back anchors to reinforce and support retaining structures in the most challenging environments. Additionally, our expertise extends to cast-in-place concrete walls, providing a customizable and durable solution for stabilizing slopes and preventing erosion. For projects requiring flood protection or dock walls, our firm specializes in the engineering of these walls, which are designed to withstand waterfront conditions and effectively shield infrastructure against water inundation. Furthermore, our engineers can design segmental block walls for ease of construction and aesthetic appeal. These types of walls rely on the weight of stacked blocks to resist soil pressure. These walls can be very cost-effective and are highly customizable.

    By integrating these diverse techniques, our firm ensures the successful implementation of retaining walls that are not only functional but also meet the unique demands of each project.

  • Our team offers expertise and innovative solutions in the implementation of wood as a primary structural material.

    Elements that we provide design services for are wood-framed walls, floor joists, ceiling joists, Timber columns, and shear walls. During the analysis, there are many aspects to consider but robustness and cost-effectiveness are the key factors in our design. It is important to us not only to make sure that the structure is designed to meet its scheduled lifespan, but we want to optimize the design and not waste the owner’s resources.

    By leveraging our structural engineering knowledge, we contribute to the realization of sustainable and resilient buildings that showcase the strength and versatility of timber in construction.

  • At our structural engineering firm, we optimize the use of reinforced concrete in our structures to ensure the structural integrity and resilience of your projects.

    Slabs on grade provide a durable base for buildings, slabs on metal decks are used to establish sturdy and efficient flooring systems, Concrete beams reinforced with steel to efficiently distribute loads and contribute to the overall stability of the building framework, and structural walls made of reinforced concrete, ensuring they not only provide essential vertical support but also effectively resist lateral forces.

    Through our comprehensive approach to reinforced concrete applications, we contribute to the creation of buildings that stand the test of time, combining strength, durability, and engineering excellence.

  • Our firm helps clients with the design of floor joists, optimizing the use of steel to provide robust horizontal support for flooring systems. We can design steel building framing, employing innovative techniques to create durable and flexible structures suitable for diverse architectural requirements. Shear walls, strategically designed to resist lateral forces, benefit from our meticulous engineering to ensure optimal performance. Columns, vital components in supporting vertical loads, are carefully designed and reinforced with steel to enhance strength and stability. Our expertise extends to the intricate details of connections and hangers, where we prioritize precision to guarantee the seamless integration of steel components.

    Through our comprehensive approach to Steel Design, we contribute to the creation of structures that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also exemplify the strength, resilience, and versatility of steel in modern construction.

  • From driveways to sidewalks, our engineers employ design techniques for durable and aesthetically pleasing surfaces designed with the finish you desire. We provide design for asphalt drives, combining expertise in cutting-edge materials and construction understanding to create resilient and smoothly functioning pavements. Whether it's heavy-duty pavements for industrial or commercial applications or light-duty pavements for residential areas, our firm tailors design to meet specific load-bearing requirements and environmental conditions. We prioritize not only the structural integrity of these outdoor surfaces but also consider factors such as drainage and accessibility to enhance the overall user experience.

    Through our comprehensive approach to Pavement and Hardscape Design, we contribute to the creation of outdoor spaces that seamlessly blend functionality with visual appeal.

  • We specialize in optimizing Masonry Wall design, particularly focusing on the construction of robust and durable concrete masonry block walls. These walls are strategically assembled in a running bond pattern, providing both structural strength and aesthetic appeal. To enhance their load-bearing capacity and overall stability, we incorporate a meticulous reinforcement strategy, typically involving the placement of rebar within the block cavities. These cavities are subsequently grout-filled, creating a monolithic and solid structure that effectively resists external forces. Our expertise extends to addressing various design considerations, including factors such as seismic resilience and thermal performance. By combining precision in construction methods and adherence to industry standards, our firm contributes to the creation of masonry walls that not only meet structural requirements but also exhibit durability and longevity in diverse architectural contexts.

Founded in 2013, Structured Design & Consulting has worked on 200+ engineering projects.
