Turnkey Residential Design
& Engineering for Homeowners
A Smarter Way to Build in the Raleigh Area
Whether it's a new home, a remodel, or a major addition, navigating a residential construction project in the Raleigh-Durham area can be a complex and often frustrating process.
We've seen firsthand how juggling multiple designers, architects, and builders can lead to costly delays, unexpected budget and construction challenges, and last minute changes to a design you have already fallen in love with.
An Efficient, Full-Service Solution
That's why we offer a more efficient, full-service solution to homeowners and builders across the Research Triangle: Our turnkey design and engineering services merge a designer's creative vision with a structural engineer's practical expertise, all under one roof.
A Seamless Experience for Homeowners
We eliminate guesswork and miscommunication, providing a single, seamless experience from your first idea to your final permit.
Our commitment to customer service and dedication to the details ensures your residential project in Raleigh, Durham, or across North Carolina is in expert hands.
How Our Turnkey Approach Is Different
A Streamlined Path to Project Completion
Our approach to residential construction puts our structural engineering expertise at the forefront of the design process, creating a smarter, more streamlined path for your project.
Valued-Engineered From the Start
We eliminate the traditional back-and-forth that comes along with home construction projects, additions, remodels, ADUs, and other residential building projects. Instead of finding out that your project requires costly revisions, we value-engineer everything from the start.

Personalized Guidance Driven by Experience
The traditional design process pipeline often involves extensive revisions to meet strict building code requirements that most designers and architects aren’t even aware of when designing your project.
With our extensive experience in the residential construction industry and depth of knowledge of current building codes, our approach to your design always begins with the end in mind. Our team has hands-on experience in the construction field and designs every project with structural integrity and code compliance as the foundation. This ensures your plans are budget-friendly, efficient, and allow for a seamless transition from design to construction.
-
True Value Engineering
We offer value engineering in parallel with the design process, ensuring every decision is made with efficiency and cost-effectiveness in mind. Instead of starting with a complex design and later realizing it's filled with expensive structural challenges, our engineers work to create a tailored solution that meets your expectations and is beautiful, practical, and cost-efficient.
This means we can help you avoid unnecessary costs and reallocate those savings toward features you truly want for your home, like upgraded kitchen cabinets and countertops, higher energy efficient windows, or nicer tile in the bathrooms. With our team, you get a custom design that's also smart, efficient, and ready to be built. -
A Seamless, Stress-Free Process
When you rely on the traditional design process, the constant back-and-forth between different firms, professionals, and a whole host of their subordinates can put major delays on your project. With our turnkey solution, you work directly with our engineering experts from the moment we discuss your vision until your plans are finalized. One person handling your project from concept to construction, simplifying the process.
This single point of contact ensures your voice is heard, your project stays on track, and the final result is a beautiful, functional, and structurally sound home that stands the test of time. Our focus is on ensuring client satisfaction stays at the forefront of every project because we understand how important the details are to you.
