For Architects
Looking for structural consultants for new construction as well as additions, remodels, renovations, and seismic strengthening? PCAI strives to provide quality consulting to architects and interior designers, such that they may achieve their architectural design goals. We believe in simple and economical solutions - as these are often best suited for most projects with a budget.
Do you desire architecturally exposed structural steel, exposed timber or steel trusses, exposed structural connections – as part of the architectural expression? We can do that.
We design in the four most commonly used structural construction materials: concrete, masonry, structural steel, and timber and used each of them where appropriate. We have expertise in the following foundation types: (1) conventional shallow foundation systems such as spread footings, strip footings, (2) deep foundations systems such as drilled piers or driven piles, and (3) mat or raft foundations – as may be governed by geotechnical/soil conditions.
Well thought-out, structurally efficient design results in economical buildings. We pride ourselves on delivering comprehensive and well-detailed construction documents – thereby minimizing the potential for construction-phase request-for-information (RFI’s), contractor change orders, construction schedule delays, and potential extras to the building owner. Our clients directly benefit from the principal’s thirty-years of expertise in structural consulting, construction document preparation, and project management.
