It's a common misconception that a Professional Engineer (PE) stamp is just a "seal of approval" that shifts all blame to the engineer. In reality, integrated PE stamping reduces liability by creating a rigorous framework of accountability, documented safety, and legal compliance—catching issues in the model rather than the field.
Virtual Coordination. Real-World Execution. We don't just draft; we build your project in a digital environment first to eliminate field errors and maximize ROI.
Our Technology Stack
By integrating these tools into a single workflow, we provide data-rich asset management, accurate estimations, and a "Measure Twice, Build Once" guarantee.
Our Seamless "Stateside-Led" Process — from first click to final stamp, here's how we bridge the gap between complex BIM and your job site:
Your U.S. Project Manager defines scope, BIM requirements (LOD), and local code compliance.
Our team builds a data-rich digital twin in Tekla, Revit, and SDS/2.
Rigorous clash detection and QA/QC review in Navisworks. We catch errors here, not there.
Final engineering review and integrated PE stamping for nationwide compliance.
Coordinated drawings and stamped calculations submitted together cut approval durations.
Pennar owns both the model and the engineering—providing fit-up confidence and reducing disputes.
Engineers and detailers optimize bolt patterns, weld sizes, and configurations to reduce shop labor.
Two core service pillars, connected end to end—from detailing through BIM coordination to fabrication-ready output. Detailing ↔ BIM ↔ Fabrication.
Plus in-house PE-stamped connection design and licensed engineering review across 46 states—seismic, moment, braced, and heavy industrial connections engineered to AISC, IBC, and AWS standards.
From early-stage estimating models to point-cloud reality capture and 4D/5D integration—capabilities that de-risk procurement and bring certainty to complex and existing structures.
Estimating & Preconstruction Modeling
Build detailed 3D models from schematic documents to generate precise material take-offs and drive early procurement before full engineering mobilization.
Estimate-level models give fabricators and GCs accurate steel tonnage, connection counts, and piece counts for competitive, defensible tendering.

"Innovation in engineering is the bridge between a blueprint and a landmark."
Representative structural engineering and detailing work across education, healthcare, commercial, and municipal projects—where integrated design and detailing closed the responsibility gap.
A three-story, ~45,000–50,000 SF expansion of a landmark 1970s auditorium—an expanded orchestra pit, new stage suspension and rigging systems, and a complex three-story glass lobby that had to integrate seamlessly with the existing building frame.
We closed the responsibility gap on the intricate stage and rigging steel. Concurrent connection design and PE-stamped calculations eliminated the delays typical of third-party specialty engineering, meeting the aggressive Construction-Manager-at-Risk timeline and delivering 100% fit-up certainty for the complex lobby geometry.
Healthcare facilities demand structural systems that carry massive medical imaging equipment, meet strict floor-vibration criteria for sensitive instruments, and accommodate dense MEP penetrations that routinely conflict with primary steel.
We used high-LOD 3D modeling to run proactive clash detection between the structural frame and dense medical infrastructure, with in-house PE-stamped connection design ensuring every heavy-equipment support and moment connection met stringent seismic and vibration standards before a single beam was fabricated—eliminating the field-fix delays that plague hospital construction.
Modernizing Western Carolina University's oldest building—a three-story, 54,750 SF Renaissance Revival landmark from 1924—called for a comprehensive interior demolition down to the existing structure, abatement, structural improvements, and exterior envelope restoration, all while preserving a historic frame never designed for modern loads or systems.
We provided structural detailing and connection design to reinforce and adapt the century-old frame, modeling existing conditions in 3D so new structure, accessibility upgrades, and modern systems could be integrated without compromising the protected Renaissance Revival envelope—turning a complex historic retrofit into a coordinated, fabrication-ready package.
SCAD's redevelopment of the former Bull Street site into student housing meant building out a previously approved ~2-acre development within Savannah's historic urban fabric—reconciling new residential structure with existing site constraints against an aggressive opening timeline.
