Structural Engineering

Our structural team has cultivated a well-earned reputation for thinking “beyond the book,” creatively yet appropriately applying structural design principles and loading requirements to the design vision and producing the most seamless transition from function to form. Whether the structural components disappear into the background or take center stage, our team at Balzer and Associates, Inc. is always focused on the most efficient way to make our client’s dream a reality. Our engineers draw from diverse experiences to provide a realistic design approach, focused on the details without becoming lost within. And our focus doesn’t diminish once the plans are done. We always prioritize an open, collaborative, and timely response to contractors’ issues during construction for those times when things just don’t go according to plan.
