What StructSolve Provides and What It Does Not
StructSolve provides structural engineering design services for residential projects. This means we size the structural members, produce PE-stamped drawings, and document the engineering basis for the work.
We do not provide architectural design, interior design, mechanical or electrical plans, or general construction management. For projects that require a full set of architectural drawings, a licensed architect handles that scope and StructSolve handles the structural engineering component.
If you are unsure whether your Springfield project needs structural engineering only, architectural work, or both, describe the project when you contact us and we will help clarify the scope.
Confirm permit requirements before starting
Building permit requirements vary by municipality in the Springfield area. Confirm what documentation your permit office requires before starting the project so the engineering scope can be tailored accordingly.
