Your project. Our engineering.

Engineering that starts with your structure.

Gunderson Engineering supports residential, commercial and industrial teams with structural plans, foundation design and drawing reviews. From a custom home or tenant buildout to a metal building or addition, we develop the engineering around the proposed structure and the information supplied by your project team.

What we provide

Structural design & review

The engineering scope is tailored to the work you propose.

01

Structural plans & design

Engineering for residential buildings, commercial spaces, industrial facilities and tenant buildouts. Plans address the structural systems and material requirements within the agreed scope.

02

Foundation plans

Foundation engineering for new buildings and a range of home types. Share the proposed building plans and available site information so our team can identify the information needed for design.

03

Renovations & additions

Engineering for changes to an existing building, including additions and structural modifications. Existing drawings, photographs and a clear description of the proposed work help establish the scope.

04

Redline & peer reviews

Reviews of architectural or engineering drawings that identify structural concerns and revisions. Marked-up plans help the design team coordinate changes before the next project stage.

05

Outdoor structures

Engineering for decks, pools, stairs, railings and other outdoor structures. The required plans and supporting documentation depend on the structure and project location.

06

Related MEP coordination

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering and energy calculations are available through our MEP services. Include the building systems involved when requesting a coordinated proposal.

01 / Project considerations

Plans for the way your building will be used

Our structural design services cover single-family homes, multifamily buildings, commercial properties and industrial facilities. Projects can include steel, concrete and wood construction, as well as metal buildings and barndominiums.

  • Single-family homes, custom homes and townhouses
  • Apartments, condominiums and mixed-use properties
  • Retail, offices, warehouses and industrial buildings
  • Tenant buildouts, renovations and property expansions
02 / Project considerations

Foundation engineering for a range of home types

Foundation plans are developed around the building and the project’s site information. Our team can review the foundation requirements for traditional homes and manufactured or off-site construction.

  • Manufactured, prefab and modular homes
  • Factory-built, panelized, pre-cut and kit homes
  • Mobile, container, tiny and flat-pack homes
  • Timber-frame and steel-frame homes

Common questions

Before you get started.

More details about structural engineering and working with our team.

What is a structural redline review?

A redline review marks structural issues or changes on the supplied drawings. The design team uses those comments to revise and coordinate the plans.

Can you review plans prepared by another design team?

Peer reviews and structural plan reviews are available. Send the drawings and explain the purpose of the review so the team can confirm the appropriate scope.

Can you help with an existing building?

Yes. Our structural services include engineering for renovations, additions and modifications. The available records and existing conditions will determine what additional information is needed.

What does your engineering scope include?

Professional engineering and design services for the agreed project scope.

How are fees and timing determined?

The project’s scope, complexity and information requirements affect fees and timing. Scope, deliverables and timing are confirmed in your proposal.
