His unwavering commitment to excellence and dedication to craftsmanship set the standard within the industry. Under Jerry’s stewardship, Structures garnered a sterling reputation, marked by meticulous attention to detail and innovative solutions.

Our Expertise

We offer full design services including feasibility assessment, schematic design, design development, construction documents and construction administration for new structures.

Proactive Coordination

Our reputation for strong project coordination allows us to provide fully integrated structural designs that are efficient, economical and constructible.

Prioritized Constructibility

Our vast knowledge of building systems means our designs are efficient, economical and constructible.

CLient Service

Throughout the design process, we are mindful of the architectural intent, the needs of other consultants, the contractor’s assembly and the owner’s goals.

Structural engineering is not only concerned with the conception of structural systems, their calculation, construction and stability, but it is equally concerned with service; service to the community, ensuring that our society is adequately informed about what we can do for it.
