Historic Preservation

Historic buildings require a structural engineer that not only understands the codes and ordinances pertaining to the building’s structural system, but also an understanding of why a building is identified as historic and the level of significance associated with the structural system. Furthermore, it is important to be able to meet these requirements and also find creative solutions to maintain the integrity of the building’s unique characteristics and the design team’s vision. Knowing that the funding for these projects are often provided through grants or include tax incentives, we work closely with the design team and the owners and agencies to ensure the guidelines and requirements are strictly adhered to.
