STRUCTURAL

ENGINEERING

for residential and light commercial structures in Pennsylvania and 26 other states.

Reliable engineering for architects, builders, designers, & other building professionals

A fantastic project with @danielsdesignandremodeling which gave us numerous interesting components to engineer and integrate into a cohesive structure including timber truss designs and challenging grade/foundation issues.

Working with Pequea to provide engineering on their timber structures is a highlight of our days for obvious reasons. Just look at how stunning this Douglas fir pavilion is!

For a big basement remodel, sometimes the existing column locations present a challenge. We got out on site for this project to assess the current loading on the beam in order to determine if a column could be moved while still keeping the existing beam.
Good news is yes, we were able to work out a solution to move the column location!

Comparing plans to the site at a big addition project on New Holland Pike.

Often times, substitutions or alterations to the structural plans happens during construction. It’s great to let us know and if needed, we’ll evaluate to make sure the design still works with the installed conditions.

Wonderful progress at this home renovation and expansion project. An interesting aspect on this for us was designing new outriggers that support a walk out balcony. Each custom steel bracket is packed out with wood to match existing conditions and is through bolted back into existing framing.

Major renovations are complete at this Phoenixville apartment. We provided structural drawings and several job site visit to navigate the tricky existing conditions. Renovations included interior modifications as well as adding new levels of new apartment units.
Great working with @brentzerr and @milkhouse_architecture to make it happen.

Beautiful trusses at a Rhode Island project that we worked on with @myplanscompany

To accomplish this beautiful kitchen renovation by @tk_buildinganddesign, we designed a 5-ply LVL to support floor and roof above, allowing them to remove an annoying column in the island.

Part of a renovation project with @egstoltzfushomes last year included specifying reinforcements for existing trusses in order to install dormers.

We worked with @ebyexteriors to provide repairs on this unique home. It was designed with two trusses the height and length of the house. Getting to see the original plans and article about the house was a special treat.

“Each side of the house becomes a truss to bridge terraces, stream, and retaining walls in a single span - supported only at the extreme ends” - Architecture in Transition

A recent wood framed commercial project by @cga.architects that we provided engineering on.

An efficient layout eliminated the need for steel in the floor framing, despite heavy floor loads due to tile and commercial loading.

A residential project with @dandbelitecustom called for some serious steel beams to remove an existing column.

We provided job site visits, plan review, and beam sizes with connection details.

A stunning new summer home from last year with @johnmilnerarchitects and @cherokeeconstruction
Structurally speaking, a lot went into make little details and custom features work on this one. It always pays off in the end though!

This complete renovation on Pitney Road has progressed nicely, just in time for all this rain! On this one, we provided structural markups to the architectural drawings.

A huge thank you to all our supporters as we fundraised for the Choroideremia Research Foundation at the Million Dollar Bike Race. This affects our family and friends we now know because of the disease, so we are personally grateful to all for raising funds for research. The race also benefited the research on many other rare diseases!

This row home is getting a full renovation with a little input from us on getting the second story porch reinforced and removing a stairwell wall.

It’s time for another bike race! As we’ve done for several years now, we are doing the Million Dollar Bike Ride (MDBR) hosted by the University of Pennsylvania Orphan Disease Research Center. We are riding for the Choroideremia Research Foundation. Choroideremia, which affects our family, causes progressive vision loss, ultimately leading to complete blindness. There currently are no treatment options or a cure for CHM. You can learn more and support in the link in our bio!

With some unconventional trusses, an engineering review is helpful to make sure you’re account for uplift, increased bearing requirements, or high point loads. Every once in awhile, we’ll throw in a design for hanging a staircase from trusses. Now that’s some real fun!
