California PE-Licensed · Structural Design
Structural Design for New Construction,
Additions & ADUs
Permit-ready structural drawings and calculations for new buildings, additions, remodels, and ADUs. Designed to current code and stamped by a licensed California PE — working directly with you or alongside your architect.
02
The Engineer Who Designs It Stamps It
No hand-off to a junior drafter. One PE owns the package.
03
Coordinated With Your Team
We work from your architect’s drawings or design the structure directly.
04
Clear, Scoped Fees
Written scope and fee before we start — no hourly surprises.
What We Design
The full structural scope for new work.
This is our design pillar — separate from our existing-building compliance work. If you are building something new, adding to it, or reconfiguring it, this is the entry point.
01 · New Build
New Construction
Complete structural design for new single-family and light-commercial buildings, from foundation through roof framing and lateral system.
02 · ADU
ADU Structural Design
Detached ADUs, garage conversions, and JADUs. Our flagship design service — see the dedicated ADU page for scope and process.
03 · Expansion
Additions & Second Stories
New area added to an existing structure, including the upgrades the existing building needs to carry it.
04 · Remodel
Remodels & Wall Removals
Load-bearing wall removals, new openings, and reframing — with the beam, post, and footing design to support them.
05 · Substructure
Foundation & Framing Design
Footings, slabs, stem walls, and the complete gravity framing system sized to real loads.
06 · Lateral
Lateral Systems
Shear walls, moment frames where required, diaphragms, hold-downs, and connection detailing per ASCE 7.

Code Basis
Designed to current code. PE-stamped.
Designed to the current California Building Code and IBC, with loads and seismic design per ASCE 7. Every drawing set and calculation package is stamped by a licensed California PE — the engineer who designs it is the engineer who stamps it.
Scope
What we provide — and what we don’t.
We provide structural engineering only. Architectural design, Title 24 energy, and MEP are handled by your architect or designer — we coordinate with them. We do not perform general contracting and we do not build the work.
