Structural Engineering
PE-stamped calculations for walls, beams, and seismic loads.
California-licensed structural engineers providing rigorous calculations for load-bearing wall removals, steel ridge beams, seismic shear walls, foundation underpinning, and stamped permit plans.
Opening up a kitchen by removing a load-bearing wall isn't just demolition — it's a load-path redesign. We size the steel or LVL beam, reinforce the joists, add seismic tie-downs, and stamp the calculations the city requires. Every spec meets or exceeds California seismic standards, and every package is built for first-pass plan-check approval.
Key capabilities
From survey to sign-off
A clear, accountable path from your first call to the final walkthrough.
Structural assessment
We inspect existing load pathways, foundation walls, and joists on site.
Engineering calculations
Wind, seismic, and dead/live load stress simulations drive every spec.
City stamp submission
A stamped engineering package, guaranteed for first-pass city approval.
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
