Transforming a building requires precise engineering. As a licensed professional engineer, I deliver the exact structural retrofitting plans, framing designs, and calculations needed to secure permits and ensure safety.
Whether converting a commercial space, retrofitting a historic property, or modifying load bearing walls, I provide constructible, cost effective solutions meeting strict building codes.
My Engineering Services:
- Structural Feasibility: Evaluating existing load capacities for new layouts.
- Framing Design: Engineering safe load bearing wall removals and new columns.
- Retrofitting: Upgrading structures to meet modern safety and seismic standards.
- Permit Packages: Detailed calculations and framing drawings ready for review.

FAQ
What types of adaptive reuse projects do you engineer?
I handle a wide variety of conversions, including office-to-residential transformations, warehouse-to-retail conversions, historic building restorations, and commercial space modernization.
Can you design to international building codes?
Yes,I regularly work with international standards. Whether you are navigating the boom in office-to-residential conversions in the United States, or meeting strict energy and structural retrofitting standards in the United Kingdom and Europe, I adapt my calculations to meet your local jurisdictional
How do you approach the removal of load bearing walls?
I calculate the exact load the current wall is carrying from the roof and floors above, and design a replacement system such as a steel I beam or engineered wood beam with appropriate support columns and footings to safely transfer that weight to the foundation.
