Building analysis and design. Typical mid-low rise buildings of steel, masonry, wood or combinations of these. Concrete structures tend to be less frequent. Shop drawing and calculations preparation for - earth retention structures, telecommunications equipment, sign structures and specialty foundations. Forensic investigation and reporting - storm, water and fire damage. Structural damage to wood framed structures. Preparation of repair specifications. Project management - due to a smaller office many projects are often coordinated by the project engineer. Specialties / skills - RISA, Excel, TEDDS by CSC software frequently used among others. Creating custom calculations for office repeated use on typical projects, including segmental retaining walls, aluminium component design, water tower analysis, telecommunication equipment and other various building components including masonry walls and concrete retaining walls.

Worked with the estimating division on large private and DOT projects. Valuable real-world insight was gained into how large construction companies bid large construction projects. How to spot change orders and coordination issues with bid documents. Also helped create a method to improve the efficiency of estimating quantities with AutoCAD.
