Among the services we provide to architects, developers, and building owners are:

• executing gravity and lateral analysis of architectural designs against current building codes
• sizing framing members for structural integrity
• providing possible alternative design and construction approaches that can reduce costs while maintaining structural integrity
• providing contractors with comprehensive construction plans in easy-to-read 3-dimensional documentation
• enhancing the collaborative atmosphere of the design process through its cutting-edge Scia and ArchiCAD software, which allows real-time input to documents from all parties involved in the project

How can our combination of industry-standard best practices and advanced technology improve the outcome of your project? Let’s start the conversation >

While construction administration is a normal responsibility of structural engineers, Riverstone Structural Concepts brings a unique perspective to it. Both company President Patrick Bird and Senior Associate Dave Fulton grew up in family-run construction companies, giving them a hands-on understanding of the challenges contractors face during a project.

How can expertise in structural design carry over to investigations of post-completion structural integrity? We’ll show you >

Upon request by building owners or insurance companies, Riverstone conducts detailed inspections of structures that show signs of distress either from age or an event, like an earthquake. We investigate the structure’s condition, report on its current status, and make recommendations for repair or replacement. We also perform investigations when alterations are planned to a structure to accommodate new tenant requirements, remodeling, or changes to building codes.

The best way we can demonstrate how a contractor background brings a practical perspective to a construction site and improves the quality and cost-benefit of the completed building is to talk with you about it >

RiverStone also serves as an independent, third-party reviewer following a structural failure. We determine the cause of the failure, how long the forces that caused the failure were present, and the best way to repair the failure.
