Our construction services have been fine tuned over many years of building. Therefore, our clients benefit from our extensive knowledge resulting in the best price, quality, and schedule delivery. Our Design-Build process is the most efficient way of approaching a seismic retrofit project. Please view the Design-Build section of the site for detailed advantages. For clients that already have the design drawings and prefer the traditional competitive bid process, we offer general contracting services and would be glad to work very closely with their designer to make sure their contracting needs are adequately fulfilled. Our strong base of suppliers and subs allow us to provide competitive bids.

Call an Inspection Engineer to Inspect your building.The Soft Story Ordinance permits the engineer to choose from among four different engineering approaches to demonstrate compliance with the ordinance. The intent of all four procedures is to provide a soft story retrofit design that mitigates the building’s risk to damage and collapse in a strong earthquake, and to thereby diminish the amount of uninhabitable housing following an earthquake disaster. Evaluating the unique circumstances associated with each project will be informative in determining which procedure to apply. Consider authorizing the engineer at the outset of the design phase to study how the four procedures apply to the project and to determine which procedure best suits the project’s objectives. If this option is desired, this is likely to entail a greater proposal fee from the engineer, but there is also a good potential for decreased construction costs due to the need for decreased structural elements or those which are better suited to strengthen your building.
