Structural Design for New Construction & Remodeling

Not all residential design can be done following the prescriptive building code and charts.  Having us review a set of architectural plans before construction begins can avoid extensive delays and costly mistakes. 

Here are a few of our specialties:  
Load Bearing Wall Modifications
Removing Posts
Tall Walls
Structural Member Sizing
Headers, Beams & Columns
Footings & Foundations
Braced Walls, Lateral Analysis & Portal Frames
Decks, Floors, Rafters & Roofs


Homebuilder Value Engineering

If your plans were not designed with efficiency as a primary focus, there is likely an opportunity to save money and improve your cycle time.  We have saved thousands of dollars on a single plan hiding within the structural elements of the design.

Give us a call to see how we can help with:
Material Optimization
Advanced Framing Techniques
Systems Engineering
Architectural Integration
Contractor Training
Building Cost Reduction


Structural Inspections & Evaluation Services

“Structural Engineering Recommended” or “Review by Qualified Professional” on a report can be scary when you are buying or selling a home.  When it happens, call Aurora Engineering so that we can put your mind at ease with a thorough review of the situation.

Alternative Building Materials

Every year new products are introduced in the homebuilding industry.  These materials need careful scrutiny to ensure structural compliance as well as helping to identify potential warranty claims in the future.  Additionally, material substitutions are becoming more common as the original materials are out of stock or require a long lead time when ordering.
