Our Services
Safe, stable, and code-compliant structural solutions engineered by licensed California professionals.
Structural Engineering Services
STG Design Build provides comprehensive structural engineering services for residential and commercial projects. Our licensed structural engineers ensure your building is safe, stable, and meets all California structural requirements.
We deliver innovative, cost-effective structural solutions that support your architectural vision while ensuring the highest levels of safety and performance.
Discuss Your ProjectWhat We Do
We design foundations tailored to your site's soil conditions, including shallow foundations, deep foundations, post-tension slabs, and grade beams. Our designs account for soil bearing capacity, settlement, and seismic forces to ensure long-term stability.
We engineer efficient framing systems for floors, walls, and roofs using wood, steel, concrete, or hybrid construction methods. Our designs optimize material usage while meeting all strength and deflection requirements.
Engineering Analysis
We calculate all applicable loads including dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads, and snow loads. These calculations form the basis for safe, code-compliant structural design.
We provide complete structural calculations and engineer's reports that demonstrate code compliance. These documents are required for permit submittal and building department review.
We detail all structural connections including beam-to-column connections, foundation anchors, shear wall hold-downs, and specialty connections. Proper connection design is critical for structural integrity.
Why It Matters
During any residential or commercial construction project, ensuring the proper strength, stability, and rigidity of a structure is of the utmost importance. Structural engineering provides:
Protects occupants from structural failure, collapse, and earthquake damage.
Ensures projects meet California Building Code and local requirements.
Designs structures to withstand loads and environmental conditions for decades.
Prevents costly failures and maintains property value over time.
Provides necessary documentation for insurance and reduces liability exposure.
Project Types
Our Approach
We analyze soil reports and site conditions to develop foundation systems appropriate for your specific location.
We design efficient structural systems that minimize material costs while maintaining safety and performance.
Our designs consider construction methods and sequencing to reduce field complications.
We work closely with architects, MEP engineers, and contractors to integrate structural systems seamlessly.
Our established relationships with local building departments facilitate smooth plan review and approval.
