Broad Based Building Experience Our portfolio includes office, research and development, manufacturing, industrial, educational, health care, government, religious, residential, entertainment, sports and specialty buildings.
Diverse Knowledge Most of our engineers are senior engineers with knowledge of many different structural systems and efficient use of all of the basic building materials including steel, concrete, masonry and timber.
Flexibility SEI believes that the architectural, functional, and economic constraints should dictate the building's structural system. The system should not be based on the engineer's personal bias toward a particular system.
Attention To Detail The design and detailing for each project are customized to address that project's specific conditions. "Standard" details are applied only where appropriate for the project.
Time Is Of The Essence SEI understands the importance of design schedule commitments. We also recognize that timely response during construction is critical to the contractor's success.
Team Work Everyone involved with the project design and construction must work together. Problems of one are problems of all, requiring cooperative conflict resolution.
Match Client's Design Expectation A hospital located next to a major earthquake fault requires a completely different design approach than a distribution building located in a non-seismic zone. SEI provides designs that conform to regional standards of practice in construction and that match the level of structural complexity that is expected by the client. |
