What is the process for creating a structural design plan?
The process involves manifold steps and considerations:
- We survey the site (your structure/building) to understand the existing condition and see if there are any possibilities of threats/hazards which can be addressed in the design we create.
- We work closely with you to establish the budget, timeline, and goals of your project to meet your requirements and expectations.
- We conduct a structural analysis as well to come at the best materials and design elements for your project (which is based on the structure condition)
- And in the end, we start and come up with the technical plans and documents and also conduct a review for important flaws before we implement them.
