SERVICES
Consult & Design
Our goal is optimized design with reduced construction cost. Very often minor adjustments during the preliminary design phases lead to a simplified structural frame, and therefore a cost-effective design. As well, we have the expertise to assess the practicality of any design, taking into consideration both structural feasibility and City Code allowances.
Permit Processing
Navigating permit processing through all departments is a key factor to guaranteeing a timely and smooth project. With over 15 years of experience in processing permit applications through the San Francisco Bay Area City departments, we offer fast and reliable application processing to all our clients.
Construction
Our decades of Engineering and Construction expertise allow us to complete over 95% of our projects with no change orders during construction. Throughout the process you’ll be updated with detailed multimedia progress reports. We take pride in streamlining processes and ensuring your project is completed on schedule.

Having completed 140+ seismic upgrades in the Bay Area, we’re here to make the process seamless -- from Design to Permitting to Construction. After a worry-free experience, you’ll be left with the reassurance that your building and its occupants are safer from seismic disruption.
