For structural and mep engineers · LPD Builders · CSLB Lic. #1082065
Seismic retrofits, soft-story and unreinforced masonry work, and structural repairs, built the way you drew them, with clear communication when existing conditions don’t match the drawings.
What you get
Soft-story, unreinforced masonry and code-triggered structural work.
Inspections scheduled and passed as part of the work.
Discrepancies raised in writing with photos before they become changes.
New systems fitted into older buildings with care for what’s there.
01
We reply within one business day and walk the building with you, looking for what the drawings can’t show.
02
A written, line-by-line price within 7 days of the walk, with existing-condition unknowns listed, not buried in a contingency.
03
One accountable project manager runs the work, raises discrepancies in writing with photos, and schedules special inspections.
