We specialize in the structural engineering challenges unique to historic preservation, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse of Philadelphia's architectural heritage. Our expertise includes condition assessments, preservation-sensitive retrofits, and creative structural solutions that respect historic fabric while meeting modern building codes. From historic masonry stabilization to sensitive insertion of new structural systems, we understand the delicate balance between preservation and safety.

Our comprehensive services include engineering feasibility studies, detailed condition surveys, and preservation-focused constructability reviews. We're particularly experienced with traditional construction materials including masonry, cast iron, timber framing, and early steel construction methods common in Philadelphia's historic building stock.

While historic preservation is a cornerstone of our practice, we bring the same attention to detail to new construction projects that complement historic districts. Our portfolio includes projects ranging from careful restoration of National Register properties to sensitive additions within historic contexts.
