What each core service typically includes

The top-level cards give the quick view. This section makes the scope more concrete so teams can map the right engineering service to the real condition, document set, or construction question they are facing.

Structural Engineering Design and evaluation for building-wide decisions

Used when a project needs primary structural thinking, not just isolated detail review.

Typical scopes

  • Framing concepts and load path review
  • Alteration and retrofit planning
  • Support coordination with architecture and MEP

Common outputs

  • Engineering narratives and calculations
  • Permit-ready structural packages
  • Coordination comments for consultants and contractors
Forensic Engineering Investigation and technical causation analysis

Used when something failed, deteriorated, shifted, leaked, or damaged adjacent work and the team needs defensible technical conclusions.

Typical scopes

  • Failure, damage, or distress review
  • Construction defect analysis
  • Remediation option comparison

Common outputs

  • Site observations and evidence review
  • Cause-and-origin reports
  • Repair recommendations and technical exhibits
Construction Engineering Active jobsite support for real-time project decisions

Used when the structural question is no longer theoretical and the team needs coordinated answers during procurement or construction.

Typical scopes

  • Submittal, shop drawing, and RFI review
  • Buildability and sequencing analysis
  • Field condition clarifications

Common outputs

  • Marked-up reviews and clarifications
  • Responses tied to site conditions
  • Issue tracking for technically sensitive work
Facade Engineering Envelope-facing structural support for movement and repair

Used when facade behavior, attachments, deterioration, or rehabilitation planning drive the engineering scope.

Typical scopes

  • Facade system evaluation
  • Support, anchorage, and movement review
  • Rehabilitation planning for exterior assemblies

Common outputs

  • Condition assessments and repair concepts
  • Prioritized exterior recommendations
  • Coordination guidance for remediation teams
Building Envelope Consulting Water, air, and transition detailing review

Used when performance issues are tied to enclosure continuity, moisture migration, or interface detailing between systems.

Typical scopes

  • Leakage and moisture review
  • Interface and transition detailing checks
  • Barrier continuity and enclosure coordination

Common outputs

  • Detail review comments
  • Risk-based envelope recommendations
  • Targeted guidance for repairs or redesign
Historic Restoration Consulting Preservation-minded engineering for legacy structures

Used when existing materials, historic character, and repair compatibility matter as much as structural adequacy.

Typical scopes

  • Legacy material and condition review
  • Preservation-compatible repair strategy
  • Sequencing for restoration-driven projects

Common outputs

  • Repair narratives and scope planning
  • Material compatibility guidance
  • Support for architect and contractor coordination

Technical Expertise

These pages focus on assemblies, systems, materials, documentation, and field issues that often govern whether a project is buildable, durable, and code-ready.

Specialized Project Scopes & Compliance Services

These services support infrastructure work, temporary works, demolition sequencing, Local Law filings, opening alterations in existing buildings, landmark-sensitive facade work, parking structure inspections, and other scopes that need focused engineering input and defensible documentation.
