Engineering that holds up on site.
A Seattle engineering firm for buildings and infrastructure. Design that is buildable by default, coordinated across disciplines, and present through construction.

disciplines
What we engineer.
Four disciplines, coordinated into one set of drawings.
01
Structural engineering
Steel, concrete, and timber structures for buildings from warehouses to high-rises - designed to code, to budget, and to last.
02
Civil engineering
Site grading, stormwater, utilities, and roadways coordinated with the structure so the whole site works as one system.
03
MEP engineering
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design that is coordinated, buildable, and within the energy targets.
04
Forensic & existing structures
Investigation, load testing, and retrofit design for existing buildings - from a cracked beam to a full seismic upgrade.
projects
Recent work.
Cedar Ridge Mixed-Use
A six-story mass timber mixed-use building - a structure that went up faster and quieter than the concrete alternative.
Pioneer Square Retrofit
A seismic retrofit of a 1910 brick building, keeping the historic facade and the tenants in place through construction.
The standard.
Buildable by default
Every design is drawn to be built by real crews, with real tolerances, in the real world.
Code is the floor
We meet the code, and then we engineer for performance, service life, and the owner's actual needs.
On site, on schedule
Our engineers stay through construction to answer the questions that always come up.
The engineers.
Ana Reyes, PE
Principal, structural
Twenty years on buildings from warehouses to high-rises. Believes the best engineering is the kind nobody notices.
Tom Feld, PE, SE
Principal, forensics
The firm's investigator and retrofit lead. Has seen more failed connections than most - and fixed most of them.
From concept to closeout.
01
Feasibility
A review of the site, the program, and the budget before a line is drawn.
02
Design
Coordinated structural, civil, and MEP drawings through schematic and construction documents.
03
Permitting
We manage the review and respond to comments so the permit does not stall the schedule.
04
Construction
Shop drawing review and site visits, with engineers on call through the build.
The best engineering is invisible: the building stands, the systems work, and no one ever asks why.
Ana Reyes & Tom Feld
From the field.
Meridian's drawings came back clean, the permit sailed through, and the steel crew said it was the easiest frame they had hung in years.
Their retrofit kept our tenants in place and our facade intact. The building is safer and nobody had to move.
They caught a connection issue during review that would have been a six-figure problem in the field. That is the whole value.
The office.
On the waterfront, with the ferry schedule memorized.

Give us the hard site.
Bring us the building that does not fit, the retrofit that is overdue, or the budget that cannot move.
