Why the Engineer Designer?

Unique Combination of Skills:

  • Design skills- I am a designer, first and foremost. Engineering is useless without a good design. There are many, many excellent Engineers. But to find one who is a designer, first and foremost, is uncommon.
  • Engineering Skills – I am an Engineer. A design is useless unless it will stand up to the forces of gravity, wind, rain and common use. There are many, many excellent designers. But to find one who also understands engineering is uncommon. Having one who has mastered both is an integration of great value.
  • Construction Skills- I was a design/builder (commercial and residential) for over 20 years. A design, even if well engineered is useless unless it can be built. There are many very creative designers who design projects that are impractical and end up not being built. Architects, educated in the schools of fine arts, can be excellent designers but are often guilty of designing projects that end up not being built due to impracticality. This is NOT an indictment of Architects but a statement well-noted by experience among contractors, owners and others. A good design, well engineered, must be created with an understanding of how things are going to be done by the folks in the field. These are the folks who will, ultimately, be building the project.

The Services You Value:

  • Creation of beautiful designs, customize, tailored and unique to the client – the Engineer Designer can design and engineer anything.
  • Drawings that are well designed and accurate - the  Engineer Designers drawings show the details necessary but are never “over-design” unless requested
  • Knowledge and expertise in the field of construction and engineering design - 25 years in engineering AND contracting for expertise in both
  • Stamped Drawings so permits can be obtained- Registered Engineerengseal

The Benefits:

  • Professional designs and drawings that are affordable.
  • One stop service – you don’t have to shop for various professionals to get the job done. I handle all of it, in house.
  • Personal, one on one service. I believe in communication. I do not take a step until I understand you and your needs. I ask questions that you may not have considered. I care about only one result – a delighted client who is proud of and can’t wait to occupy his or her new home.
  • Fees that are less than most Architects, for comparable levels of professional engineering and design – this combined with extensive design/build experience.
