Seismic resilience is a consideration for any building in Southern California—no matter it’s age, size, purpose, or materials. Occupant safety is the most important consideration.
Our seismic evaluation and retrofit services span the full spectrum: from preliminary vulnerability assessments and detailed structural analysis (ASCE 41 and Tier 1/2/3 assessment, NDC Ordinance reviews), to retrofit design, construction documents, and construction administration. Our team collaborates closely with architects, preservation specialists, MEP engineers, and contractors to coordinate scope, sequence, and detailing at every phase.
We work across building types and eras, designing strategies calibrated to the building's condition, its intended use, and the owner's goals—whether that means meeting minimum code, enhancing performance, or achieving near-invisible strengthening that leaves a building's character fully intact. Our work spans civic institutions, entertainment studios, commercial buildings, hospitality properties, educational facilities, and private residences. Each building is unique and requires a different level of sensitivity and a different set of tools.
