WHO WE ARE

The Pacific Northwest's Authority in Seismic Retrofitting

When it comes to protecting a commercial investment from earthquakes, a general contractor isn’t enough. You need a structural expert with the credentials and field experience to back it up. We are a locally owned team of specialists dedicated exclusively to commercial properties such as Warehouses, Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings, and Soft Story. We understand the complex structural challenges that each individual building presents.

What We Do

Specialized Commercial Retrofitting Solutions

Our services are targeted to address the structural failure points most common in warehouses, URM buildings, and other commercial facilities, while ensuring you meet lending and insurance requirements.

Seismic Retrofitting

Our engineer-led retrofits target the connections that matter most: roof-to-wall anchoring, roof diaphragm connections, and critical load path reinforcements.

Engineering & PML

Engineering plans, Probable Maximum Loss (PML) analysis, and due diligence reports led by our P.E. team to support acquisitions, lending requirements, and insurance underwriting.

Maintenance & Repair

Column replacement, concrete spalling remediation, concrete crack repair, and seismic gas shutoff valve installation to protect your building's structural integrity and tenant safety.

How It Works

Our Proven Process for Commercial Projects

We’ve refined a transparent, six step process that gets your structural project completed with precision, and minimal disruption to your operations and tenants. No surprises. No scope creep.

Step 01

Consultation & Assessment

A discovery call to understand your property, followed by a comprehensive on-site structural evaluation led by our Engineer.

Step 02

Preliminary Estimation

A free rough estimate gives you a real budget baseline before any commitment. For complex URM or warehouse scopes, we may propose a focused engineering investigation to define the exact work required.

Step 03

Engineering & Permitting

Our team finalizes engineering plans and a fixed project quote, then manages the entire permitting process with local authorities on your behalf. Full ownership of the process protects you from fingerpointing.

Step 04

Execution & Communication

We coordinate a start date around your operations. Throughout the build, property managers and tenants receive weekly progress updates so everyone stays informed and confident.

Step 05

Quality Assurance & Inspection

A final walkthrough clears every punchlist item before we close out, and your project passes all municipal inspections. Guaranteed. We don't leave until it does.

Step 06

Project Wrap Up

Inspections signed off, site left clean, documentation in hand. You walk away with a code compliant facility and everything you need to satisfy lenders and insurers.
