Engineering
Two critical aspects of a building’s design/construction (new or existing) are life-safety issues and economical (efficient) construction methods. Regardless of size and use (residential or commercial), your safety, as well as the general public, is first priority. Quality structural engineering ensures this safety through the careful design (engineering) and strategic positioning of essential construction components such as foundations, columns, beams, and trusses. The design of these components always considers ‘varying’ conditions such as loads (weight) and varying forces derived from quantity of people, weather conditions, and actual use of the facility. Recommendations for construction methods (materials) are made to the client in order to provide the most economical (efficient) approach while considering ‘given’ conditions, budget, and desired outcome.
Andrew Switzer, P.E. has over (12) twelve years of professional experience in structural engineering, project management, and construction / engineering detailing. His specialized training in structural components (steel, wood, concrete, and masonry) adds a vital in-house dimension to the design team. Andrew's hands-on involvement and in-the-field experience has proven beneficial, ensuring safety while implementing economical construction detailing (methods) and providing cost savings to all our commercial and residential clients.
