(1) Integrated 3D Design - We start with Autodesk Revit to create of 'smart' 3D models of sites and buildings. We typically model home/building designs by others placed and integrated on the surveyor's site topography. This 3D model is used to create detailed construction plans, sections, and elevations.  Most of our work is in Texas but we can offer our Integrated Design service for any site on the planet (where local rules allow it).  A recent non-Texas non-engineering design only project was a Structural Insulated Panel based home design for coastal California. Or most recent Structural Insulated Panel based home structural design wll be built on Galveston island.

(2) Our (State of Texas) Engineering Services includes Civil Engineering (site planning, parking, landscape, drainage, mitigation, detention, conveyance, etc.) and Structural Engineering (Foundations, Framing, Wind Storm, Construction Details, etc.)

Fun Fact - We typically create Revit 3D Integrated Designs for our internal use to provide (3D based) Engineering Services.

Our Approach is Simple!

We provide what you need to build better ...
... and to build smarter!

Our 20+ year old 'young thinking' engineering firm provides consulting, guidance, engineering, and plans for renovation & new construction.

We'll explain the best methods for your renovation. We'll help you design an affordable a starter home. We'll engineer innovation into a sleek custom home. We can design ranches and commercial sites.

Our design and consulting approaches are enhanced through expert application of Revit 3D for building and site design, civil and structural engineering resulting in permit ready plans.

We are as 'green' as you want us to be ...

(1) We can guide you on how to reduce your energy consumption and your impact on the environmental, and back these ideas up through 3D energy modeling.

(2) We can explain why insulated wall sheathing with super-insulation and moisture control is worth it. Or why every garage should have Electric Vehicle service equipment, every roof should be solar capable, and every yard should have a back-up generator.

(3) To further enhance your new home experience.We can help your project improve home safety, accessibility, shelter-in-place, universal design, and aging-in-place.

Not 'green' enough?  Because we have already done it, we easily  help you with sun-sail shading, small wind generation, a ground mounted solar array, rain water harvesting, outdoor kitchen, and composting stations near your garden area.
