"David was easily reachable, flexible to schedule, (understanding of our inspection timeline), and clear on pricing. He evaluated the house structure from the basement and living level, addressed all of our questions, and took us around the outside of the house to let us know tips of what we could do to mitigate any potential long-term risks. Very happy with his service, knowledge, and report."

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

If you're looking for an architectural designer who brings more than textbook knowledge to the table, you're in the right place. With over 40 years in the construction industry—as a builder, designer, and business owner—I’ve developed a deep, hands-on understanding of how homes are truly built. Every project, challenge, and collaboration has shaped how I approach design today. That experience allows me to design residential projects that go beyond the blueprint, grounded in practical insight and a lifetime of lessons learned on the job.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In Ann Arbor, clay-rich soils and high water tables can affect foundation stability, especially near the Huron River. If your home is in a historic neighborhood, anticipate extra design reviews. Older homes may have unique framing or outdated materials, requiring specialized solutions. Tree preservation rules can impact site access, so plan for protective measures if mature trees are present on or near your property.

Helpful?

Combining structural engineering with upgrades like electrical, plumbing, or HVAC improvements in Ann Arbor can minimize disruption and make scheduling more efficient. If you’re opening walls, it’s a good opportunity to add insulation or replace windows for better energy efficiency. Coordinating multiple trades and bundling permit applications can streamline approvals and reduce downtime, especially when planning around Ann Arbor’s variable weather conditions.

Helpful?

Before starting structural engineering projects in Ann Arbor, review your property’s zoning and gather any previous structural drawings. Take detailed photos of current conditions and arrange for a soil analysis if you’re planning foundation work. Obtain all necessary permits early, and have your plans checked by a local structural engineer familiar with Ann Arbor’s building codes. Also, confirm if your property falls within a historic district, which may require additional approvals.

Helpful?

Ann Arbor’s climate brings cold winters, heavy snow, and humid summers, all of which impact structural engineering projects. Foundations must be built below the frost line to prevent shifting, and concrete work is best scheduled outside the coldest months. Wet spring soils can complicate excavation, while summer increases contractor demand. Planning ahead ensures your project meets local requirements for snow and wind loads and avoids seasonal delays.

Helpful?

Ann Arbor offers full-service structural engineering firms for design and project management, as well as contractors specializing in residential renovations and additions. Foundation repair experts address settlement or water issues common in the area. General contractors with structural experience can coordinate complex jobs, while concrete, steel, and masonry specialists handle specific tasks. Many are well-versed in working with Ann Arbor’s historic and older housing stock.
