Church and Community Structural Engineering Projects
Churches and community organizations tend to build once and use the building for decades. Our church structural engineering work includes a new facility for a growing congregation, and we work alongside the architect.
Community work also includes the jobs we do for free. We have provided pro-bono structural design for Habitat for Humanity builds in Eugene many times over the years. It’s rewarding to see what a difference that work makes in other people’s lives.
For the services behind this work, see Commercial Structural Engineering.
