The modern-day field of material handling poses challenges to designers, suppliers and fabricators everywhere, challenges that can only be met with state-of-the-art analysis methods and superior engineering skills.

We can help you get the job done from any stage of the game, from the initial design to city submittals and installation. We have the skills and training to provide all facets of seismic engineering design and analysis, as well as a CAD staff to provide a professional finished product. Our engineers have developed and refined the process of structural analysis to not only meet the requirements of the latest building codes, but also maximize the cost effectiveness of your project. Every member of our team operates within a framework of ideals, principles and professionalism that reflects the highest standards or ethics, integrity and expertise.

Building Code Permitting.


Why do I need a building permit?

  • Permitting ensures the tenant is in compliance with building, zoning, and seismic codes. The issuance of a permit alerts inspectors that work will occur at a particular site so they can inspect construction as it progresses, for code compliance. Code compliance is essential to protect the safety and well being of visitors and employees.
