  • Structural Analysis & Design: Perform gravity and lateral analysis for buildings using steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, and wood.
  • National & Local Project Delivery: Support a wide range of project types, including Denver-based multi-family and commercial developments, as well as national retail and industrial programs.
  • BIM Collaboration: Work closely with our BIM team to develop 3D structural models in Revit Structure, ensuring seamless coordination with architectural and MEP partners.
