Project-Specific Design Services
Focused structural engineering deliverables for contractors, remodelers, and homeowners, beam sizing, wall removal drawings, deck framing, PE letters, and specific permit documentation without a full-phase engagement.
Not every project needs a full structural engineering engagement, sometimes you need one well-defined deliverable. StructSolve's Design Services are structured for contractors, remodelers, and homeowners who have a specific engineering need: a beam sized for a wall opening, a PE letter for a permit, structural drawings for a deck rebuild, or a header design for a doorway enlargement. You bring the project. We provide the engineering document you need to move forward.
