Old Fashion Engineering:
If we can not do it by hand with slide rules and calculators, we will not seal it. Yes, we use state of the art, (and expensive) software that we have purchased
to make our job faster and more economical to you but we also know how to do it by hand. This eliminates errors due to
unknowledgeable design engineers using software they do not understand the possible catastrophic errors that can occur. We are proud to say. "We only seal what we can design by hand."

What is Engineering:
The art of combining the vision with the practical. Designing a structure that will meet the design requirements with the
minimum materials. In other words, the "cheapest design." Get it to work and meet the codes but to be the least
expensive design. Anyone can engineer a project that will work by simply putting more material in it until they think it will work.
The challenge is to make the project functional while keeping costs in mind.
Finding that most economical design IS ENGINEERING. When we put our seal on a project we know we have listened to the customer, determined the goals,
thought of the most economical solution and designed it to comply to all code restrictions.
