I will design seismic retrofit plans for your older home

Own an older home that predates modern seismic codes?

I design engineered seismic retrofit plans foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, shear walls, and hold-downs that meet code and hold up to earthquake insurance requirements.

I'm a structural engineer working with homeowners, contractors, and property owners across the US, especially in seismic zones like California, Oregon, and Washington.

Every retrofit plan is based on your home's actual foundation type and vulnerabilities, not a one-size-fits-all fix.

What you get:

Structural assessment of your foundation, cripple walls, and framing connections

Engineered retrofit plan (anchor bolts, shear walls, hold-downs) sized to your home

Drawings ready for permit submission or your contractor to bid from

Guidance on what a licensed contractor will need to execute the retrofit

This service fits pre-1970s homes, homes on cripple walls or raised foundations, and properties needing retrofit documentation for earthquake insurance. Send your foundation type, home age, and location before ordering so I can scope it correctly.

Message me first with your property details I'll confirm turnaround and the right package for your home.
