Engineering Services Tri-Cities, WA

Engineering Firm Richland, WA

A knowledgeable, licensed and experienced structural engineering firm can create a building design that meets the exact structural requirements of your building site. Investing in engineering experience at the planning stage can help ensure the safety, beauty and value of your building for decades to come.

Off-the-shelf designs don't take the characteristics of your building site into account. Often, these canned designs may look good, but they can't be built as-is! This may require your construction crew to devise a solution on-the-fly or stop working on your project until an engineer modifies the design to meet local code requirements. This adds expense since an engineer may recommend significant changes to portions of the structure that have already been built.

Experienced engineering firms like Tri-City Engineers can help you correct structural issues in existing construction, plan major remodeling projects, rehabilitate buildings, retrofit existing construction for seismic strengthening and design additions to your existing space. We can also provide complete design services for pole buildings and help ensure proper site drainage.

Our licensed professional engineers can spot issues in existing construction that home or building inspectors may miss. Potential or existing structural faults can significantly increase the cost of construction or repair, and they can prohibit the sale of a structure until the issue is addressed.

Tri-City Engineers provides exceptional consulting services for homeowners, commercial construction firms, lenders and contractors. We'll design site-appropriate foundations for new construction, including walkout basements, foundation slabs and foundations for sloped building sites. We can also prescribe corrective measures for existing foundations. Our team also offers complete engineering services for multi-family buildings, mixed-use projects and building sites that pose specific structural challenges.

Tri-City Engineers

Full service engineers do more than design foundations. We can examine your entire property to determine the best solutions for site irrigation, drainage, retaining walls, structure size and placement. Our experienced engineers can help size heating, cooling and ventilation systems to ensure maximum climate comfort for your project. For existing construction, we can design solutions for removing or repositioning load-bearing walls. We can also assist with remodeling or rehabilitation plans for historic structures.

Many people assume that architectural design services include building engineering. Often, they don't. Designs that look good on paper may not meet local or state building requirements. This is especially true in remodeling construction, but the need for engineering services may not be apparent in a project's planning stages.

A city building inspector may be the first person to suggest that you need engineering services for your planned building project. Tri-City Engineers offers construction-ready designs that feature complete mechanical, structural, electrical and civil engineering services.

We work closely with general contractors to provide full support for your residential, commercial or industrial/agricultural construction project.

Certain features of a building project require special care. Interior and exterior stairwells, pedestrian bridges, walkways, culverts and foundations all require the attention of a professional engineer. Rehabilitation projects and retrofits to add or enhance handicapped accessibility may require the construction of ramps, replacement of exterior and interior doors, restroom redesigns and the addition of elevators, in addition to barrier removal. Tri-City Engineers can provide barrier-free designs that complement existing architecture, while delivering fully ADA-compliant, structurally sound modifications. Whether your accessibility project is commercial or residential, Tri-City Engineers can help!

Tri-City Engineers can also help with remodeling and rehabilitation projects designed to improve a building's energy-efficiency or incorporate environmentally sound solutions to site-specific challenges. Poor site drainage can cause ongoing problems for foundations and walkways. Even minor seismic activity or strong winds can cause increased structural wear and reduce the useful lifetime of a structure. Proper engineering and design strategies can mitigate conditions that may reduce the life expectancy of a structure or compromise its safety.

Full service engineering firms bring significant value to construction projects in all industries. By applying specific engineering services to home design, commercial construction and industrial or agricultural projects, we can reduce the overall cost of a project while improving its value, comfort and longevity. Our professional engineering team delivers construction-ready designs that recognize and incorporate the requirements of local building codes. In addition, our team works closely with your general contractor to deliver superior construction services throughout your project.
