​BUILDING STRUCTURE ENGINEERING
Contact: Dan Kubican
Phone: 859-303-6474
Building Structure Engineering of timber, cast-in-place concrete, masonry, structural steel, ICF, and other material systems using state of the art analysis and BIM software to produce complete, highly-detailed, and well-coordinated construction documents that clearly convey the design intent. We emphasize constructability and detailing that considers means, methods, and construction phasing. Our BIM designs integrate architectural modeling to ensure coordination and compatibility. We perform complete design of structure, thereby minimizing schedule and bid unknowns.
