Testimonials
Creative thinking and good use of technology eliminated tons of concrete and steel, making the project economically viable. We like their creativity and openness to new ideas. They look beyond traditional cut-and-dried structural solutions.
They love to seek innovative solutions. They used a combination of modern engineering and old-school carpentry framing to achieve the energy-efficient goal while retaining a really nice hand-built look.
We needed a flexible partner to work with us on structural engineering. Ron and his team have shown a profound understanding of the very specific needs for structural analysis of our solar mounting systems.
