Structural engineering for single family homes and estates carries expectations no other building type does. Every detail must be calibrated to the character and safety of the home and occupants.
Structural Focus has provided engineering services for private residences and estates across Southern California for over two decades, from contemporary hillside estates and multi-generational compounds to the restoration of early 1900s Craftsman, Mid-Century Modern and Spanish Colonial Revival landmarks. We partner closely with leading residential architects, contractors, and preservation specialists and have longstanding collaborations with firms such as KAA Design Group, Marmol Radziner, and Kelly Sutherlin McLeod Architecture.
Our areas of expertise include new estate construction, multi-acre and multi-building estates, renovations and reconfigurations, additions and expansions, foundation stabilization, historic restoration, hillside construction, and seismic strengthening. For historic homes, our approach to preservation and seismic strengthening keeps the homes original character intact. For new estates, we provide innovative solutions for hillside terracing, complex geometry, cantilevered rooms, glass walls, and subterranean programs such as theaters, gyms, and wine cellars.

From ground-up design on challenging hillside sites to thoughtful additions and sensitive restorations, Structural Focus brings the technical depth and care your home deserves.
