STRENGTH OF DESIGN

Our philosophy for producing value in building design is that the economy of the structure is decided at the inception of the project by applying our knowledge of the project's area fabrications and workforce. We understand that efficiency and ensuing economy is provided, not by squeezing every ounce of steel or concrete from the structure, but by details which create ease of fabrication and installation.
 

INNOVATION

We do not seek innovation; we find it, however, through listening to contractors, fabricators, and suppliers, and integrating their thoughts and ideas into our ever-refining design process. Some innovation, as is the nature of engineering, is a result of lessons learned and of the construction team's concerns, questions and input throughout the course of each project.
 

TECHNOLOGY

Our steadfast approach to procurement and application of the latest design and drafting tools, coupled with common sense, allows us to produce the most cost-effective structural designs in a timely fashion. We have recently embraced Building Information Modeling (BIM) and are using it to reduce coordination errors and to produce the highest value design documents. Our goal is to become part of a vertically integrated project delivery - from the architect's first ideas to fabrication drawings. This design-construction continuum is rapidly evolving, and we feel that BIM will be used soon on even the smallest building frame.
