Our Structural Engineering Services

Structural engineering encompasses a wide range of services. Building safe and stable structures is only one aspect of the job. Our services also include:

Building permits may require a structural engineering report that’s signed and stamped by a certified engineer. This applies to putting up and/or removing walls, underpinning basements, and building additions. We provide these reports for building permits, structural evaluations, and inspections.

Our structural design services and support include drawing reviews to assess project feasibility. This involves giving feedback and making suggestions to guarantee compliance with structural codes. Additionally, we offer electrical analysis services. Our in-house experts will make sure your project plans and drawings meet the current safety regulations and building code standards.

Working with RAR Construction Management was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their team managed our full home renovation with professionalism, clear communication, and true attention to detail.

Having access to their designer and structural engineer made the process seamless and stress-free. They provided a detailed construction schedule and budget estimate upfront, and stuck to it.
