Design Solutions, Not Problems

On-Site Observations

A State-Licensed Professional Engineer or EIT, not a contractor, will visit with you on your property to do an observation..

State Regulated Reports

All recommendations will conform to your particular municipalities' regulations. No more guessing which code goes to which home.

Deadlines Met

We plan ahead to keep your project on time. Our team works with you and your contractors to ensure everything aligns from observation to engineering.

Honest Solutions

Match the right solution to the right problem. Don't overspend on a trivial issue, or underspend on an issue that needs attention now!

Proper Documentation

Move forward with confidence knowing that you have the required documentation ready for presentation when needed.

Unlimited Engineering

Once a project has started, StructSolve currently has no limits to how many times you can call to inquire about your scope.

A Tried and True Process

On-Site Evaluation

Our licensed engineers or EIT's visit your property to conduct a detailed evaluation. This step ensures that all structural conditions are thoroughly assessed, and any concerns are identified with professional precision.

In-Office Calculations

Drafters, Engineers, EIT's, and Iowa State Interns get to work right away. A set of drawings will be supplied to you within a couple of weeks, along with constant communication to help answer questions regarding the particulars.

Drawings Delivered

Receive a comprehensive, PE-stamped drawings that will garnish municipality approval and permitting. If further conversation with the municipality is required, we will represent you on your behalf.
