Definition

What is structural engineering on a permit set?

Structural sheets show how the building is built: footings, walls, beams, joists, connections, and the engineering math behind them. Inspectors and building departments expect calculations that match the drawings — not generic details copied from another job.

Our structural work is coordinated with architecture and MEP so beams, chases, and openings do not conflict at review.
