When a building needs structure that holds up through construction and decades of use, the design has to balance safety, cost, and how it actually gets built. G&W Engineering delivers reliable structural solutions across the full lifecycle of commercial projects, from early planning through construction. We partner closely with architects, owners, and contractors to design systems that are safe, efficient, and cost-effective.
Whether new construction, renovation, or tenant improvement, we engineer structures that perform with longevity, adaptability, and constructability in mind. Our work includes seismic analysis and design for buildings that must perform under load and meet code in regions where ground motion governs.
Unbiased, objective analysis to determine causation and corrective solutions
When structural concerns arise, the first job is to find out what actually happened. G&W conducts careful, tactile inspections with an unbiased desire to determine the facts. Conditions are documented thoroughly, root causes are identified clearly, and recommendations focus on practical resolution. This work often begins as a forensic investigation and continues into expert witness support, where the same engineer who diagnosed the problem provides defensible testimony grounded in sound engineering judgment.
Not every structural question involves a commercial building. Homeowners, contractors, and design professionals come to us when a house needs structural attention, whether that’s a planned alteration or a second set of eyes on someone else’s drawings. We bring the same engineering rigor to residential work that we bring to larger projects, with practical recommendations grounded in how the home is actually built.
We focus on two areas: structural alterations tied to remodels and additions, and independent review of plans and code compliance.
