Structural Engineer of Record Services

BUILDING DESIGN YOU CAN RELY ON
Comprehensive Structural Engineering
We provide expert structural engineering solutions tailored to commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Our team ensures precise load calculations, material optimization, and connection detailing to deliver safe, durable, and cost-effective building designs.
Efficient Fabrication & Construction
Our structural designs prioritize efficiency in fabrication and construction, reducing material waste, shop time, and on-site modifications. We work closely with fabricators and contractors to create streamlined, buildable solutions that optimize project timelines.
Code Compliance & Structural Integrity
Every design adheres to industry standards, including IBC, AISC, and local building codes, ensuring safety and long-term reliability. We focus on load-bearing capacity, seismic considerations, wind resistance, and structural stability for every project.
Collaborative Project Support
We partner with architects, engineers, and contractors to provide clear, detailed plans and responsive communication throughout the design and construction process. Our proactive approach ensures seamless coordination, minimizing delays and costly revisions.
Manufacturing
We design structurally sound and efficient manufacturing facilities that support heavy equipment, workflow optimization, and industry-specific requirements.
Warehouses
Our warehouse designs focus on maximizing storage capacity, load-bearing efficiency, and seamless integration of racking systems and material handling equipment.
Mixed Use & Office
We engineer mixed-use and office buildings with a balance of functionality and aesthetics, ensuring structural integrity, open layouts, and adaptable spaces.
Commercial
Our commercial building designs prioritize durability, cost-efficiency, and compliance with local codes, creating safe and visually appealing structures.
Industrial
We provide tailored structural solutions for industrial facilities, ensuring stability, heavy-load support, and compliance with safety and operational standards.
Additions
Our structural engineering expertise allows us to design seamless building additions that integrate with existing structures while maintaining safety and efficiency.
Healthcare
We engineer healthcare facilities with precision, ensuring compliance with medical standards, seismic resilience, and efficient space planning for patient care.
Pharmaceutical
Our pharmaceutical facility designs meet stringent industry regulations, incorporating cleanroom standards, structural stability, and process efficiency.

Structural Engineering for Buildings

Full structural engineering services provided for the design of buildings and structures. Steel structures are our specialty and integrated services are available including design-build, engineer of record (EOR) services, value engineering and steel connection design. We also provide designs for foundations, reinforced concrete, masonry light gage steel components within the buildings and structures that we engineer. Our team utilizes state-of-the-art analysis procedures and creates 3-D analysis models for
all projects, and are knowledgeable of the latest codes and construction methods. We are responsive throughout all stages of the project and seek to coordinate with other team members to make the project go smoothly in the field.

All projects are modeled and drafted within Revit for easy compatibility with the design team including Architects and MEP engineers. Our construction documents are thorough and the perfect complement for our BIM models.

Our team has designed structures with specialized features such as 75MT bridge cranes, blast resistant tilt-wall panels, long span steel trusses over 280', elevated floors designed for vibration resistance, high wind and high-seismic steel framing, equipment platforms and much more.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Southern Steel Engineers, we understand that every project is unique and often raises important questions. Our FAQ section provides clear and concise answers to common inquiries regarding our services, project processes, industries we serve, and how we ensure efficiency in delivering structural steel engineering solutions

1. Do you have the capacity to handle large-scale projects?

Yes, Southern Steel Engineers has the expertise, resources, and technical capabilities to manage large-scale structural steel projects. Our team is equipped to handle high-volume connection designs, complex delegated design tasks, and extensive shop drawing reviews for projects of any size. Our team has successfully completed design on several projects in excess of 10,000 Tons with the largest being approximately 40,000 Tons.

2. Do you collaborate with fabricators and erectors?

Yes, we coordinate with fabricators and erectors. We want to make sure that we design efficient connections for the shop and easily constructible connections for the erector in the field. Collaboration early in the process is critical to ensure all parties are on the same page.

3. Can you provide a detailed scope of work and cost estimate?

Yes, Southern Steel Engineers provides proposals with detailed scopes of work and exclusions explicitly tailored to the project. Our goal is to ensure we have the appropriate scope covered and clearly communicate that through our proposal. Our proposals include lump sum pricing so that our client has a clear understanding of our fees and there are no surprises.
