Services

Structural engineering, sized to your project.

From a one-page load-bearing letter to full stamped plans for an addition or ADU. Six core services covering 90% of what northern Utah homeowners and contractors need.

Service · Residential

Residential Structural Engineering

Calcs, plans, and letters for the kinds of projects northern Utah homeowners and small contractors actually run into. Not a production shop. Senior engineer on every job.

Service · Commercial

Light Commercial Structural Engineering

Restaurants, retail, office TI's, warehouses, mezzanines, and change-of-use. We're built for the project that's too small to interest a big firm and too important to hand to a draftsman.

Service · ADUs

ADU Structural Plans & Engineering

Internal, attached, detached, garage conversions. We've worked through HB 82 and most northern Utah city ordinances. Stamped plans that pass plan check the first time.

Service · Foundations

Foundations & Retaining Walls

Cracks, settlement, bowing walls, new footings, and walls over 4 feet. We design for the soils we actually work in — expansive clay on the bench, granular fill in the valley.

Service · Decks & Additions

Decks, Additions & Remodels

Snow loads here are not a rounding error. We size beams, ledgers, and headers for what your project will actually see, with the connections plan reviewers want to see.

Service · Inspections

Structural Inspections & Engineer Letters

Pre-purchase visits, foundation crack evaluations, post-storm assessments, and the one-page letters cities, lenders, and buyers ask for. We tell you what we'd tell our family.
